Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas, skin on
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 2 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
Instructions
- Place the bananas on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice lengthwise through the skin. Place the bananas in the air fryer basket, skin side down.
- In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle the mixture on the bananas.
- Working in batches, air fry the bananas at 400 degrees for 5–7 minutes until the sugar is melted and slightly crunchy on the top. Carefully remove the caramelized bananas from the basket, place them on a plate, add a scoop of ice cream, and serve.
Notes
Topping suggestions: marshmallows, granola, dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut or chopped nuts.
Cooking times may vary depending on the brand of air fryer used. Check the bananas near the end of the recommended cooking time to ensure the sugar has melted and they are caramelized.
