A delightful dessert featuring caramelized bananas with a hint of spice, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and caramelization.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half crosswise, then lengthwise to create four pieces per banana.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Arrange the banana slices cut side up in a baking dish.
Ensure the bananas are evenly spaced for consistent cooking.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon.
Mix thoroughly to combine the flavors.
Brush the mixture over the bananas evenly.
Coat the bananas generously for maximum flavor.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the bananas.
Distribute the sugar evenly for uniform caramelization.
Bake the bananas in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they are hot and caramelized.
Keep an eye on the bananas to prevent overcooking.
Serve the caramelized bananas warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream or a sprinkle of nuts.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
