Got overripe bananas no one wants to eat plain? Don't waste them. As a home cook dedicated to reducing food waste, I've perfected this simple recipe to transform blackened bananas into a luxurious dessert: flambéed bananas with orange and rum.
Contents 
1. Heat a frying pan over medium heat.
2. Sprinkle in the sugar to caramelize.
3. Add the butter.
4. Stir to combine.
5. Add orange juice and zest.
6. Stir until you have a thick sauce.
7. Add the banana.
8. Spoon the sauce over the banana.
9. Pour in the rum.
10. Ignite with a match.
11. Flambé while basting the banana.
12. Remove from heat.
Your flambéed bananas with orange and rum are ready! Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
You can substitute honey for sugar. For a citrus twist without rum, try Grand Marnier or Cointreau. Omit orange for the classic version.
