Honey-baked Bananas with Sesame Seeds

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

6 bananas, sliced in half lengthways
4 tbsp runny honey
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp sesame seeds
fresh mint sprigs, to garnish
ice cream, to serve
toasted sesame seeds, to garnish

Method:

Arrange the banana halves, skin side down, on a large baking dish. Drizzle the bananas with the honey then sprinkle over the cinnamon and sesame seeds.

Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 200ºC (400ºF, Gas Mark 6) and bake for about 18 minutes or until soft and golden brown in colour.

Divide the banana halves between four plates. Garnish with sprigs of mint and a generous scoop of ice cream. Sprinkle over some toasted sesame seeds and serve.

As an alternative to baking these bananas, they could also be wrapped in foil and cooked on a barbecue until soft and cooked through.
