Ingredients:

  • 2 medium firm-ripe bananas (approx. 12 oz / 340g)
  • 2 tbsp (25g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch (0.5g) sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise down the center, but do not cut all the way through—leave them hinged so they open like a book. Place them cut-side up in the baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until it forms a thick, gritty paste. Spread the mixture evenly across the exposed flesh of the bananas, ensuring the edges are well-coated to encourage browning.
  3. Slide the dish into the center rack of the oven. Bake for 15–20 minutes until the sugar is bubbling around the edges and the banana has shifted to a deep, golden mahogany color.
