Get a fire going, or preheat your grill. Either way, you’re looking for medium heat.

Use a sharp knife to cut a slit along the inside curve of each banana (the concave side). You want to get all the way through the banana peel, but not necessarily into the banana itself.

Carefully open slit, and use your fingers to gently separate the peel from the banana.

If you’re using a spread, use a spoon or knife to apply some to the inside of the banana peel.

Push a row of mini marshmallows as far down each side as you can, to hold the banana peel open. Fill with more marshmallows, and your favorite toppings. (See post for photos!)

Place bananas cut side up on individual pieces of tin foil. Bring the foil up and around the banana, lengthwise, and fold the edges together over the banana, basically forming a tube around the banana. Leave a little bit of air space above the banana- this will help it cook, and prevent it from sticking to the foil.

Then, fold each of the open ends closed. I like to fold them downwards, forming a bit of a base to hold each of the wrapped banana boats upright on the grill.

As I wrap each banana boat, I’ll usually transfer them to a baking sheet, to easily carry them to the fire.

Once you’re ready, place the wrapped banana boat packets on the grill grates, keeping the cut side facing up.
