Ingredients for Banana And Coconut

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Desiccated Coconut

How to Make Banana And Coconut

  1. Peel 2 ripe bananas and cut them into 2cm pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, toss the banana pieces with the juice of 1/2 a lemon to prevent browning.
  3. Pour 1/2 cup of desiccated coconut into a shallow dish.
  4. Roll each lemon-coated banana piece in the desiccated coconut until fully coated.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy! Optional: Refrigerate for a chilled treat.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
