Ingredients

2 bananas (Ripe)
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon

Instructions

Step 1 Select and cut the banana

Select ripe yet firm bananas.
Peel and slice the banana. You can keep the skin intact and slice the bananas lengthwise into two halves if you like it that way.
I am just removing the peel and cutting elongated banana rings. You can also slice the banana vertically into 2 halves and then make thin slices horizontally.

Step 2 Coat the cut banana in cinnamon sugar

Transfer the banana rings or banana slices into a bowl. Then add brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Coat the banana with the cinnamon sugar nicely.

Step 3 Cooking banana in air fryer

Pull out the air fryer basket, and gently place cinnamon-sugar coated bananas in the basket.
Set the air fryer temperature to 350 ⁰F and let the bananas air fry for about 5 minutes or more depending on the ripeness of the bananas.
At 3 minutes, gently lift each slice using silicone tongs and give them a flip.
When done, gently lift them from the air fryer onto a plate.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, granola bowls, or on jelly sandwiches, or bagels.

Notes

You can also use butter if you want. Dice cold butter into small pieces. Place one tiny dice on every slice of cooking banana.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Place them at a distance from each other.
Give them a flip halfway through.
Be gentle while lifting the air-fried bananas, do not just flip the air fryer basket to get them on to plate. Use a spatula to lift them one by one.
Use the parchment paper and avoid the mess in the air fryer by putting a silicone mat or parchment paper. Don’t be lazy like me.
If your bananas are more on the raw side, they might take 7-8 minutes, whereas the ripe bananas will cook faster.
Reheat them in an air fryer at 350 degree F for 2-3 minutes.
The best way to store the air fried banana is by gently placing them in an airtight container. And then they can be refrigerated for 4-5 days.
You can also cook bananas in the instant pot. Use the sauté mode. But you will have to use butter there.
