While you can certainly put a slice of banana and garnishes atop a pad of rice or in a sushi roll, this banana sushi recipe is an all-fruit adaptation—no rice. It’s perfect for dessert or for a snack. And you don’t need to cook anything!

Thanks to Dole for the recipe. If your bananas are too ripe to cut into firm chunks, see yesterday’s recipe for spicy banana dip and other overripe banana uses.

April 20th is National Banana Day.
