How to Make Baked Rum Bananas

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthwise.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, rum, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Place the banana halves in a baking dish.
  5. Pour the rum mixture evenly over the bananas.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the bananas are tender and slightly caramelized.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy! Consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
