Fry Bananas: Add the firm bananas to the skillet and fry them, turning occasionally, until they turn a golden brown color. This should take around 5 minutes.
-
Add Sugar: Sprinkle the dark brown sugar evenly over the bananas in the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and forms a thick syrupy glaze, about 4 minutes.
-
Plate Bananas: Carefully transfer the caramelized bananas to individual serving plates, arranging them attractively.
-
Lime Infusion: Cut the limes in half and squeeze the juice of half a lime over each serving of bananas, allowing the tangy citrus flavor to mingle with the sweet caramel syrup.
-
Garnish: For an extra touch of tropical flair, garnish each serving with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes if desired.
-
Serve: These Lime Bananas are best enjoyed warm, so serve them immediately and revel in their delightful flavors!
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of rum or coconut rum to the skillet along with the bananas and sugar.
- If you prefer a more pronounced lime flavor, zest one of the limes before juicing and sprinkle a bit of zest over each serving.
- To make ahead, prepare the bananas and caramel syrup mixture in advance, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and reheat gently in the microwave before serving.
