- Step 1
Preheat broiler. Peel the bananas and arrange them in one layer in a gratin dish. Pour the lemon juice over them, then roll them in the juice to prevent them from discoloring. Sprinkle them with brown sugar.
- Step 2
Place the bananas under the broiler, about 4 inches from the heat, and broil them until they are brown on top, about 4 minutes. Turn the bananas over and place them again under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, until brown on top. They should be soft at this point when pierced with a fork.
- Step 3
Cool the bananas until they are lukewarm, sprinkle them with the rum, if desired, and serve immediately.
Tip
- If your bananas are slightly underripe or you like your desserts very sweet, you may want to add an additional 1 or 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to compensate for tartness.

I liked this easy recipe calling for just 4 ingredients. It would be simple to make for just one or many more people. I tried throwing in some pecans toward the end of broiling, but they almost burned. It would be better to chop and toast the pecans separately. Toasted coconut might be another nice addition. The lemon adds great flavor, but next time I'll use more sugar--I cooked only one banana so reduced the amount to a tablespoon. I would sweeten it more next time.

Pros: fine caramelized bananas
Cons: almost burned my house down because pieces of bananas catch fire under the broiler
