Ingredients

Method

1
Split each banana lengthwise and arrange them on a clean work surface. Pat dry with paper towels if excess moisture is present.
2
Pour orange juice into a shallow bowl and combine the grated coconut, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, cinnamon, and sugar in a separate shallow bowl, mixing well to distribute the spices evenly.
3
Dip each banana half into the orange juice, coating both sides lightly, then immediately roll in the breadcrumb-coconut mixture until fully coated.
4
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat with a light coating of oil (not listed but inferred for cooking). Working in batches, place the coated banana halves in the pan without overcrowding.
3 minutes
5
Cook the banana halves until golden brown on the first side, then carefully flip and cook the other side until similarly golden and caramelized.
3 minutes
6
Transfer the finished banana halves to a serving plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm while the coating is still crispy.
