How to Make Grilled Bananas Platanos Asados

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  2. Place whole bananas (leaving the peel on) directly on the grill grates.
  3. Grill for 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the peel is blackened and the bananas are soft and slightly caramelized. Grill time will depend on the ripeness of the bananas and your grill's heat.
  4. Carefully remove the bananas from the grill and let them cool slightly.
  5. Using a sharp knife, slice the bananas lengthwise through the peel, almost all the way to the other end, creating several slits.
  6. Gently squeeze the banana open to reveal the grilled flesh.
  7. Drizzle generously with 1-2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk.
  8. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy this warm, gooey, and delicious treat!
