Ingredients
Bananas
- 2 ripe bananas
Coating
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Select and Cut the Banana: Choose ripe yet firm bananas. Peel them and slice into elongated rings or cut lengthwise into halves for preferred shapes. Ensure slices are roughly uniform for even cooking.
- Coat the Banana in Cinnamon Sugar: Place the banana slices into a bowl and sprinkle with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss gently to coat each piece thoroughly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Air Fry the Bananas: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the coated banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. Air fry for about 5 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through (around 3 minutes) to ensure even caramelization. The bananas should become golden and slightly crispy.
- Serve: Carefully remove the bananas from the air fryer using silicone tongs and transfer onto a serving plate. Enjoy immediately, optionally paired with vanilla ice cream, granola bowls, jelly sandwiches, or bagels for a delightful treat.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas for the best texture; overly ripe bananas may become too soft.
- The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and banana ripeness.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg or add a dash of vanilla extract to the sugar mixture.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
- Experiment with toppings such as nuts or chocolate drizzle.
