Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • tin foil

Ingredients
  

  • 4-6 bananas or as needed for recipe
  • 1 baking sheet
  • tin foil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325° F.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with tin foil or parchment paper.
  • If your bananas are still bound in a bunch, pull them apart and lay them out unpeeled from each other on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-20 minutes until desired ripeness is reached. This is usually when the bananas have started to get brown spots or the skin turning brown.
  • Do not overcook these bananas as they will get too tough. If the flesh is squishy and soft then they are good to take out!
  • Let bananas cool on a baking sheet before splitting open.
