Ingredients

Scale

Banana Preparation

  • 2 ripe bananas

Coating Mixture

  • 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped nuts
  • Shredded coconut
  • Chocolate chips
  • Yogurt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the bananas and slicing them into 1/2-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and proper caramelization.
  2. Make the Coating: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the melted butter or coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined to create a sweet and flavorful coating.
  3. Coat the Bananas: Gently toss the banana slices in the prepared mixture, making sure each slice is fully and evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for approximately 3 minutes to prepare for cooking.
  5. Arrange Banana Slices: Place the coated banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch or overlap to allow even cooking and browning.
  6. Air Fry the Bananas: Cook the bananas at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until slices are golden brown and slightly caramelized.
  7. Remove and Serve: Carefully remove the cooked banana slices from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate.
  8. Add Toppings: Garnish with your choice of optional toppings such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, or yogurt to enhance flavor and texture.
  9. Enjoy Warm: Serve the air fried bananas warm for the best taste and enjoy this healthy, easy dessert or snack.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are ripe but firm to prevent them from becoming too mushy during air frying.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version.
  • Make sure to arrange banana slices in a single layer to achieve even caramelization.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the model of your air fryer.
  • Optional toppings add texture and flavor but are not necessary for a delicious snack.
