Method
 

How to Make Air Fryer Bananas
  1. Peel and Slice: Carefully peel the bananas and cut each one in half. Then, cut each half lengthwise to create quarters, which will maximize the caramelization.
  2. Prepare the Bananas: Place the halved bananas into a mixing bowl, allowing them to gather together in anticipation of the delicious transformation ahead.
  3. Mix the Coating: In a small bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir gently until fully incorporated; it should create a luscious sauce ready to embrace your bananas.
  4. Coat the Bananas: Pour the coconut oil mixture over the bananas and gently toss everything together. Ensure each piece is evenly coated for the best caramelization results!
  5. Prepare the Air Fryer: Line the air fryer basket with a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper, ensuring to poke holes in it for air circulation. This step will help achieve a perfect, crispy texture.
  6. Arrange the Bananas: Place the coated banana halves in a single layer on top of the lined basket—giving each one space encourages even cooking and caramelization.
  7. Set the Temperature: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Once heated, insert the basket and cook the bananas for 5 minutes, letting the warmth work its sweet magic.
  8. Flip and Finish: After 5 minutes, carefully turn the bananas over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are beautifully caramelized and golden brown, filling your kitchen with irresistible aromas.
  9. Serve Warm: Once the bananas are done, serve them warm and watch everyone’s faces light up with delight at this simple yet exquisite treat.
