Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated

Method
 

  1. Peel the bananas and slice them into about 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  2. Place the banana slices in a mixing bowl.
  3. Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Whisk the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt into the melted butter until well combined.
  5. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the banana slices and toss gently to coat evenly.
  6. Line your air fryer basket with a paper liner.
  7. Arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer in the prepared air fryer basket.
  8. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until caramelized and tender.

Notes

- Use slightly firm bananas for best results; they hold their shape better.
- Ensure bananas are in a single layer for even cooking and caramelization.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer model.
