How to Make Bananas And Pralines

- Stir in 1/2 cup pecan halves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 3 ripe bananas, sliced lengthwise. Spoon the sauce over the bananas, gently turning to coat, until softened (about 4-5 minutes).
- Serve immediately over vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Garnish with extra pecans if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

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.
