Scale
Ingredients
- 2 Bananas, sliced lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon Ghee or melted butter
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) to ensure the bananas cook evenly and develop a caramelized surface.
- Prepare Bananas: Slice the bananas lengthwise carefully to create larger flat pieces that will crisp nicely. Brush each banana slice with ghee or melted butter to enhance flavor and aid caramelization.
- Season Bananas: In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and brown sugar together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the ghee-coated bananas to add sweetness and a warm spice flavor.
- Air Fry Bananas: Place the seasoned banana slices into the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping to cook evenly. Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 7 minutes until golden and caramelized.
- Adjust Cooking for Under-ripe Bananas: If using under-ripe bananas, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure they soften and caramelize properly without burning.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the sweetest and creamiest texture; under-ripe bananas will require longer cooking.
- Brush the bananas gently with ghee or butter to avoid breaking them.
- You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar or maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
- Serve air-fried bananas warm as a dessert or snack, optionally topped with yogurt or nuts.
