Banana Preparation
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced lengthwise or into thick rounds
Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For Air Fryer Basket
- Cooking spray or a light brushing of oil
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F to ensure even cooking and caramelization of the bananas.
- Prepare the Basket: Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil to prevent the bananas from sticking during cooking.
- Arrange the Bananas: Place the banana slices in a single layer in the basket, making sure they don’t overlap for even air circulation.
- Season: Evenly sprinkle the banana slices with ground cinnamon to add warmth and flavor.
- Air Fry: Cook the bananas for 5 to 7 minutes, turning them halfway through to achieve an even caramelized color and texture. The bananas should be golden, caramelized, and heated through when done.
- Serve: Carefully remove the bananas from the basket and serve them warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- For extra sweetness, drizzle with honey or maple syrup after cooking.
- You can also add a pinch of nutmeg for additional warmth and flavor.
- Serve with yogurt or oatmeal to create a fuller, nutritious breakfast or snack.
