Crunchy Caramelized Banana Strips (the E-Z Way!)

A neat treat to make either at home or when camping. I saw this on one of the TV Food Network Shows. It is so simple to do!!!

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  ripe bananas
• 3⁄4 cup white sugar

Directions

1. You will need either a hand held propane torch or a chef's torch.
2. Cut off ends of unpeeled bananas and then cut these into two pieces each lengthwise.
3. Cut each of these banana strips into two shorter pieces.
4. Evenly distribute sugar on a flat small plate.
5. Press each banana strip (peel side up) into sugar to coat.
6. Remove peels and place sugar side up on a cooling rack over a piece of aluminum foil.
7. Using torch on low to medium size flame, pass flame back and forth over each banana piece until sugar starts to bubble and liquify into a dark caramel color (making sure to keep the torch moving at all times).
8. Caramelize each banana piece one at a time.
9. Let banana pieces cool for 10-15 seconds until coating becomes hardened.
10. Time to eat!
