Baked Bananas—1

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

Prepare

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Bake the bananas in their skins or peel slightly unripe ones.

  3. Add a little coarse sea salt.

Bake and serve

  1. Place in the same pan and roast 30 minutes before serving.

  2. Turn the bananas once or twice during baking.

  3. Serve as a vegetable.
