Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bananas
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise, ensuring the pieces remain intact. Place the banana halves cut-side up onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Brush the melted butter mixture generously over the banana halves. Make sure each piece is evenly coated for the best flavor.

Step 5

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over the bananas, reserving the remaining 2 tablespoons for serving.

Step 6

Bake the bananas in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are softened and caramelized on the edges.

Step 7

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bananas cool for a couple of minutes.

Step 8

Serve the roasted bananas warm, drizzled with the remaining maple syrup. For an extra indulgent treat, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
