For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the coconut before sprinkling it on the bananas. If you don't have a convection oven, you can use a regular oven. Just keep a close watch on the bananas to prevent them from burning. Toasting the coconut flakes before using enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. For a vegan option, substitute the honey with agave nectar or maple syrup.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
Gently peel the banana and slice it lengthwise. Place the banana halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (2 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Using a sharp knife, score the cut surface of each banana half crosswise, about 1/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart. This will help the honey penetrate and create a beautiful caramelized effect. (3 minutes)
04
Step
1 mins
Drizzle each banana half evenly with honey, ensuring it seeps into the scored crevices. (1 minute)
05
Step
1 mins
Sprinkle the honey-glazed bananas generously with toasted coconut flakes. (1 minute)
06
Step
10 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the coconut is golden brown and the bananas are tender and slightly caramelized, approximately 8-10 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning. (10 minutes)
07
Step
2 mins
Carefully remove the bananas from the oven and let them cool slightly. (2 minutes)
08
Step
1 mins
Garnish with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or coconut cream, if desired. Serve immediately and savor the tropical goodness! (1 minute)
