Smoked almonds highlight the bananas' grilled flavors in this 5-ingredient dessert. While you can grill ripe bananas that have some black spots, they're easier to move around if they are completely yellow and slightly firm.

Preparation
Step 1
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the salt.
Step 2
Slice off the ends of each banana and halve lengthwise, leaving the peel intact. Sprinkle the cut sides of the bananas with the sugar mixture and allow to absorb, 1 minute. Oil the grill grates, then grill the bananas cut side down over high heat until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer 2 banana halves to each of 4 plates or bowls, peeling if desired. Set a scoop of ice cream in the center, sprinkle with the smoked almonds and serve.
