Equipment

  • Cutting board + knife
  • Air fryer
  • Tongs

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • ½ tsp brown sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon optional

Instructions

  • Prep the banana. Slice the banana in half lengthwise.
  • Season. Place the banana halves on a plate (cut side up). Lightly sprinkle with sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. You can adjust the amount based on how sweet or spiced you like it.
  • Preheat the air fryer. Set your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and let it preheat for 2–3 minutes.
  • Air fry. Gently place the banana halves in the air fryer basket, cut side facing up. Air fry for 6–8 minutes, or until caramelized and lightly golden. Optional: Line the bottom with parchment paper or foil to catch any melting sugar.
  • Serve. Remove carefully (they’ll be soft). Serve warm with your favorite toppings like ice cream, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey!
