How do I prepare the bananas and strawberries?

Peel and slice bananas into half-centimeter rounds. Rinse, hull, and slice strawberries to match banana thickness for uniform layering.

Can I substitute any ingredients?

Yes, kiwi or raspberries can replace strawberries for a different color and flavor profile, maintaining the festive appearance.

This is optional; drizzling honey or maple syrup adds sweetness but the fruit arrangement tastes great on its own.

A sharp knife, cutting board, and a serving plate or tray are sufficient to prepare and arrange the fruit slices.

For best freshness, cover and refrigerate leftovers, ideally consuming within a few hours to maintain texture.
