Grilled Banana Split with Chocolate Ice Cream and Smoked Almonds Recipe

Grilled Banana Split with Chocolate Ice Cream and Smoked Almonds Recipe

  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar (Sugar in the Raw)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 ripe but firm large bananas
  • Vegetable oil, for grilling
  • 1 pint chocolate ice cream
  • 1 ounce smoked almonds, roughly chopped (1/4 cup)
  1. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the salt.
  2. Slice off the ends of each banana and halve lengthwise, leaving the peel intact. Sprinkle the cut sides of the bananas with the sugar mixture and allow to absorb, 1 minute. Oil the grill grates, then grill the bananas cut side down over high heat until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Transfer 2 banana halves to each of 4 plates or bowls, peeling if desired. Set a scoop of ice cream in the center, sprinkle with the smoked almonds and serve.
