Ingredients for Baked Bananas In Orange Glaze

  • Firm Bananas
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

How to Make Baked Bananas In Orange Glaze

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 4 ripe bananas in half lengthwise. Place them cut-side down in a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it evenly over the bananas.
  4. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest.
  6. Pour the orange glaze evenly over the baked bananas.
  7. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the bananas are tender and the glaze is bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Optional: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for an extra decadent touch!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
