Ingredients
- 1 medium very ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the banana.
- Smash: Peel the ripe banana and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a fork to smash the banana gently to your desired consistency.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the smashed banana for about 12 minutes, or until the surface turns lightly golden.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and optionally drizzle with honey. Enjoy the roasted banana smash as a topping for desserts, breakfast dishes, or as a sweet snack on its own.
Notes
- Use a very ripe banana for maximum sweetness and caramelization.
- Roasting intensifies the banana’s natural sugars for a richer flavor.
- Serve warm for best taste and texture.
- Try using the roasted banana smash as a spread on toast, mixed into yogurt, or as a natural sweetener in oatmeal.
- You can omit honey to keep it naturally sweet and vegan.
