Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Select and Cut the Bananas: Choose ripe but firm bananas for the best texture. Peel and slice the bananas into elongated rings or vertical halves with thin horizontal slices, depending on your preference.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Place the banana slices in a bowl and sprinkle with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss gently to ensure each slice is evenly coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Air Fry the Bananas: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Arrange the coated banana slices gently in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. Cook for about 5 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through at the 3-minute mark using silicone tongs to ensure even caramelization.
- Serve Warm: When the bananas are golden and caramelized, carefully remove them from the air fryer. Serve immediately, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, sprinkled on granola bowls, or as a topping for jelly sandwiches or bagels.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid overly mushy texture.
- Adjust air frying time depending on banana ripeness and air fryer wattage.
- For a vegan-friendly option, serve with non-dairy ice cream or toppings.
- Handle the bananas gently during flipping to maintain their shape.
