Broiled Banana Delight with Vanilla Ice Cream and Pistachios

Ingredients

- 4 ripe bananas, peeled
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios

Instructions

1. Preheat the Broiler
Adjust your oven rack so that it's 4 inches from the heating element. Preheat the broiler on high for about 5 minutes.

2. Prepare the Bananas
Slice each banana in half lengthwise to create 8 equal sections. Arrange the banana halves flat side up on a foil-lined baking sheet.

3. Sprinkle Sugar
Evenly sprinkle the granulated sugar over the cut side of each banana half. Use your fingers to spread it out if necessary for even coverage.

4. Broil the Bananas
Place the baking sheet under the broiler. Broil the bananas for 3-4 minutes, or until the sugar is melted and caramelized. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

5. Assemble the Dessert
Remove the bananas from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 2 minutes.

6. Serve
Place two broiled banana halves on each serving plate. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream next to the bananas, and generously sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top.
