Air Fryer Bananas
Description
Air Fryer Bananas combines basic ingredients like bananas, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter to create a lightly caramelized treat. By slicing the bananas lengthwise and coating them with melted butter and a cinnamon-sugar mixture, the recipe ensures even flavor distribution. Cooking at 400 degrees Fahrenheit in the air fryer crisps the edges and softens the fruit inside, yielding a tender yet slightly crispy finish. The bananas are flipped midway to promote even browning. While the dish can be enjoyed fresh on its own, adding ice cream offers a cold, creamy balance to the warm, sweet fruit. Serving the bananas warm enhances the flavor experience.
Ingredients
- 4 banana
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 Tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthwise.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Coat each of the banana slices with the melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture on top.
- Place the bananas in an air fryer making sure that they do not overlap.
- Air fry at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes until golden brown (flipping the bananas halfway through the cook time).
- Serve warm as is or topped with ice cream and enjoy!
Notes
- Best served immediately after cooking to enjoy the optimal texture and flavor.
- If storing leftovers, be aware that the banana texture will soften further and may not reheat well.
