Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Ripe bananas
- 2 cups Fresh pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Peel the bananas and cut them into 1-inch thick slices.
In a small bowl, combine the honey, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter to create a glaze.
Thread the banana slices and pineapple chunks alternately onto the skewers to create colorful fruitsticks.
Preheat the grill to medium heat or prepare a grill pan on the stovetop.
Brush the fruitsticks generously with the prepared glaze on all sides.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the fruit is lightly caramelized and has grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the grilled fruitsticks warm as is, or pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
