Instructions

  1. Step 1: Slice bananas lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  4. Step 4: Dip each banana slice halfway into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment paper, chocolate-side up.
  5. Step 5: Immediately sprinkle toasted almonds and a pinch of sea salt over chocolate-coated bananas.
  6. Step 6: Refrigerate for 15 minutes until chocolate sets before serving.
