Ingredients
Scale
Bananas
- 2 Bananas, sliced lengthwise
Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon Ghee or melted butter
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking the bananas evenly.
- Prepare Bananas: Slice the bananas lengthwise, then brush each slice generously with ghee or melted butter to add flavor and help them caramelize.
- Season Bananas: In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered banana slices to give them a sweet and spiced coating.
- Air Fry Bananas: Place the prepared banana slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 390°F (200°C) for 7 minutes, allowing the bananas to soften and caramelize.
- Optional Extra Caramelization: For firmer or under-ripe bananas, cook an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve deeper caramelization and softness.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for best sweetness and texture, but under-ripe bananas can be cooked longer.
- Ghee or melted butter helps enhance flavor and caramelization but can be substituted with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the cinnamon and sugar amounts to your taste preference.
- This recipe is great served warm, alone or with ice cream or yogurt.
