Grill

The banana peel becomes a cooking vessel on the grill. Slit it lengthwise down one side, then all kinds of sweet things can happen inside. The whole package goes over direct heat—you can even put it on a piece of foil set right on top of coals, if you like. Eat it straight from the peel, or spoon it out as a ready-made topping over ice cream. You can have the banana stuffed and ready to go before lighting the fire. <br /> <br />For a variation on the method, try making this <strong>Grilled Banana with Marshmallow, Chocolate, and Toasted Walnuts</strong>: Substitute chopped toasted walnuts for the peanut brittle and add 2 tablespoons chopped or mini marshmallows. One regular-sized marshmallow should be enough for each banana. Kitchen shears make “chopping” it easy: oil the blades, then snip it into small pieces.
