What’s the coolest new thing to cook on the grill? Bananas

Dear Barbara: My grandson keeps asking me to grill bananas on the grill. Not only do I not know how, but I have never even heard that you could do that. Is there really such a thing, or is he just trying to make me look silly? — Sharon from Lodi

Dear Sharon: No, he is not trying to make you look silly! Grilled bananas are getting more popular all the time. You can leave the peel on, or you can take most of it off and wrap it in foil. They only need about 4 minutes per side. Be sure the grate on your grill is very clean so they won’t stick. What you can make with grilled bananas is only limited by your imagination.
