Ingredients
Bananas
- 2 ripe bananas
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Select and Cut the Banana: Choose ripe yet firm bananas for the best texture. Peel and slice the bananas into elongated rings, or slice lengthwise into halves followed by thin horizontal slices, depending on your preference.
- Coat the Cut Banana in Cinnamon Sugar: Place the banana slices into a bowl. Add brown sugar and ground cinnamon, and thoroughly coat the banana slices with the cinnamon sugar mixture for an even flavor.
- Cook the Banana in Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Gently place the cinnamon sugar-coated banana slices into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for about 5 minutes, flipping the slices halfway at 3 minutes using silicone tongs to ensure even cooking. Once caramelized and tender, carefully remove the banana slices from the air fryer onto a serving plate.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the warm cinnamon sugar bananas with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, as a topping for granola bowls, or layered onto jelly sandwiches or bagels for a sweet surprise.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from becoming too mushy during air frying.
- Adjust air frying time based on the ripeness and thickness of banana slices.
- Handle banana slices gently when flipping to avoid breaking them.
- Customize sweetness by adjusting brown sugar quantity.
- This recipe is quick and requires minimal preparation, perfect for a last-minute dessert or snack.
