a banana related question

[ratcreature]

I have a bunch of bananas that for some reason have just failed to turn from green to yellow, despite waiting quite a bit longer than that usually takes.

Could I cook or roast these unripe and just use them as a starchy thing, as if they were plantains? Would that work? Or would they still taste as gross as raw green bananas? I dislike that mouth coating feeling you get if you do try to eat them green.

I'm particularly thinking of oven roasting them in their skin in hopes to get that off more easily, but I never tried this.

Another option???

My husband likes to slice a banana lengthwise in its peel, insert chocolate chips and then microwave. We're talking several tablespoons of chips and 30-60 seconds. Then he takes a spoon and scoops bites out of the peel. He ends up with hot bites of banana and slightly melted chocolate.

Not sure what that might taste like using GREEN bananas but one could certainly experiment. I rarely try this since I'm just not very fond of the banana/chocolate combination.

I don't have a microwave. But I assume it wouldn't work with green ones, because the flesh doesn't get soft and it doesn't taste like banana. It would be more like chocolate on potato bits.
