Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 Bananas, sliced lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon Ghee or melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar


Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking the bananas evenly.
  2. Prepare Bananas: Slice the bananas lengthwise carefully and brush each slice with ghee or melted butter to enhance flavor and help caramelization.
  3. Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar together, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the ghee-coated banana slices.
  4. Air Fry: Place the prepared banana slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook at 390°F (200°C) for 7 minutes until they are tender and lightly caramelized.
  5. Caramelize (Optional): If using under-ripe bananas or if you prefer a deeper caramelization, air fry the bananas for an additional 2-3 minutes to develop more sweetness and golden color.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for best natural sweetness and easier caramelization.
  • Ghee can be substituted with melted butter or coconut oil for a different flavor profile.
  • Adjust the cinnamon and brown sugar quantity based on your taste preferences.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
  • Can be enjoyed alone or topped with yogurt, honey, or nuts.
