Ingredients
- 2 Bananas, sliced lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon Ghee or melted butter
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for cooking the bananas evenly.
- Prepare Bananas: Slice the bananas lengthwise carefully to keep them intact and brush each slice generously with ghee or melted butter for flavor and caramelization.
- Season: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar together, then evenly sprinkle this mixture over the buttered bananas to add sweetness and spice.
- Air Fry the Bananas: Place the prepared banana slices neatly in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping. Cook at 390°F (200°C) for 7 minutes to allow the bananas to caramelize and soften.
- Adjust for Ripeness: If using under-ripe bananas, continue air frying for an additional 2-3 minutes to reach optimal softness and sweetness.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness; under-ripe bananas require additional cooking time.
- Ghee adds a rich, nutty flavor, but melted butter is a great alternative.
- Serve immediately for warm and gooey bananas, or chill slightly for a different texture.
- Can be enjoyed as a quick dessert or healthy snack.
