Caramelized Banana Delight

Ingredients

- 4 ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the bananas. Slice each banana diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces to ensure even cooking and presentation.

2. Melt the Butter: In a large non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to spread evenly across the skillet surface.

3. Add Sugar and Flavor: Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbly, sprinkle in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth and caramel-like.

4. Caramelize the Bananas: Carefully lay the banana slices in a single layer on the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the slices are golden brown and fully caramelized. Use a spatula to gently turn the banana slices to prevent them from breaking apart.

5. Serve: Once caramelized, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the bananas warm as a delightful snack on their own, or as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.
