Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Coat the Banana Slices: In a mixing bowl, toss the banana slices with brown sugar and cinnamon until each piece is evenly coated, which will help them caramelize beautifully.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Lay the coated banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap to ensure even caramelization.
- Air Fry the Bananas: Cook the banana slices for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they turn golden brown and caramelized on both sides.
- Serve or Store: Serve the caramelized banana slices immediately for the best texture and flavor, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas for best caramelization without getting mushy.
- You can adjust cinnamon to taste or substitute with nutmeg for a different flavor profile.
- Air frying time may vary depending on the air fryer model; check for browning as the indicator.
- Perfect for topping toast, oatmeal, or enjoying as a sweet snack.
- Consume within 2 days when stored refrigerated to maintain freshness.
