Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Pour the melted coconut oil into a shallow bowl or plate.
  3. Peel the bananas, cutting off the  tops and bottoms. Carefully cut them in half lengthwise. Roll them around in the oil until well coated and lay them, cut side down, onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush them with any remaining oil and grate a little nutmeg over them, if using.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes on a high shelf. Turn the bananas carefully with a spatula -- don’t break them -- and return them to the oven for another 10 minutes or so until they’re golden with caramelized edges. Carefully lift them from the tray and serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
