Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 ripe yet firm bananas
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Select and Cut the Banana: Choose ripe but firm bananas for the best texture. Peel the bananas and slice them into elongated rings, or optionally slice lengthwise into halves before cutting into thin slices.
- Coat the Banana in Cinnamon Sugar: Place the banana slices in a bowl, add the brown sugar and ground cinnamon, then toss gently to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Cook Bananas in the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the coated banana slices gently into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for about 5 minutes, flipping the slices carefully at the 3-minute mark using silicone tongs to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Serve: Once cooked, transfer the bananas to a plate. Serve warm alone or as a topping for vanilla ice cream, granola bowls, jelly sandwiches, or bagels.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from becoming too mushy during air frying.
- Adjust air frying time depending on your air fryer model and banana ripeness.
- Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a drizzle of honey for additional flavor variations.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
