Ingredients

2 Ripe bananas
3 oz Dark chocolate
1/4 cup Almonds
pinch Sea salt

Instructions

Step 1: Slice bananas lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 2: Place 3 oz chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth (about 60 seconds total).
Step 3: Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasting for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant, stirring constantly.
Step 4: Dip each banana slice halfway into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment paper, chocolate-side up.
Step 5: Immediately sprinkle toasted almonds and a pinch of sea salt over chocolate-coated bananas.
Step 6: Refrigerate for 15 minutes until chocolate sets before serving.
