How to Make Bbq Bananas

  1. Preheat your BBQ to medium heat.
  2. Cut four 12x12 inch rectangles of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. Peel four ripe bananas and place one banana in the center of each foil square.
  4. Gently prick each banana several times with a toothpick or fork.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons dark rum, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  6. Pour 1/4 of the rum mixture over each banana.
  7. Top each banana with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  8. Carefully fold the foil over the banana, sealing the edges tightly to create a foil packet. Ensure no liquid can escape.
  9. Place the foil packets on the preheated BBQ grill.
  10. Grill for 7 minutes, then carefully turn the packets over and grill for another 7 minutes.
  11. Remove from the BBQ and let rest for 1 minute.
  12. Carefully open the foil packets, being cautious of the hot steam.
  13. Transfer the BBQ bananas to serving dishes. Spoon any remaining rum sauce over the bananas.
  14. Garnish with orange slices and serve immediately with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
