Instructions
 

  • Trim the stem ends off the bananas.
  • Cut the bananas in half lengthwise, leaving the peels on. Set the bananas aside.
  • Place the chopped pecans in a small nonstick skillet.
  • Cook the pecans over medium heat, shaking the pan frequently, for about 4 minutes or until they smell toasted. Remove the pecans from the heat and set them aside.
  • Off the heat, spray an outdoor grill rack or a ridged stovetop grill pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Heat the grill or pan to medium.
  • Sprinkle the cut sides of the bananas with ground cinnamon.
  • Lightly brush the cut sides of the bananas with 1 teaspoon of maple syrup.
  • Place the bananas, cut sides down, on the grill or in the pan.
  • Cook the bananas for 2 to 3 minutes or until grill marks appear.
  • Turn the bananas over and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until they start to pull away from the peel and soften.
  • Transfer the bananas to a serving platter.
  • Brush the cut sides of the bananas with the remaining 1 teaspoon of maple syrup.
  • Sprinkle the bananas with the toasted pecans.
  • Dust with additional cinnamon if desired.
