How to Make Burnished Bananas

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place unpeeled bananas directly on the oven rack. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the skin is uniformly black-brown and the inside is soft.
  3. Carefully remove the bananas from the oven using oven mitts. Let cool slightly.
  4. Using a sharp knife, carefully slit the banana lengthwise from end to end, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  5. Drizzle generously with 1-2 tablespoons of honey.
  6. If desired, add 1/2 - 1 tablespoon of dark rum.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy with a spoon!
