I was inspired to make this after reading Grill Pan Cooking. The preparation is really pretty simple and involves slicing Lady Finger bananas in half lengthwise. Hey…easy is good sometimes.

I pre-heated my grill pan on medium for a few minutes and added the bananas to the pan cut side down. After about five minutes I flipped the little guys over and let them go for another few minutes.

One of the things that really surprised me was how black the skin became. I guess I should have anticipated that but….sometimes you just have one of those days.
I plated these up and drizzled with a little honey since they looked a bit dry. The texture held up pretty good and the bananas looked great with real pretty grill marks. So here is the catch…..I made these because I thought it would be fun and would look pretty. These are meant to be served on top of ice cream but to be honest; I don’t like bananas and haven’t eaten ice cream in years. I wish I could tell you that these were delicious and you needed to go make them RIGHT NOW. All I can really say is that this was fun!
Really this was just another excuse to bust out a grill pan and play in the kitchen. Thanks for playing around with me.
