1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Caramelize the Bananas: In an ovenproof skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar turns golden brown. Carefully add banana slices, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bananas are softened and caramelized.
-
Assemble the Tart: Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the caramelized bananas in the skillet. Tuck the edges of the pastry inside the skillet gently.
-
Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
-
Invert and Serve: Allow the tart to sit for a few minutes before carefully inverting the skillet onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
Notes
Spices: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the caramel for extra warmth and flavor.
Nuts: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the bananas for added texture and flavor.
Other Fruits: Try apples, pears, or even pineapple as a substitute for bananas for a different twist.
