Can You Air Fry Bananas?
Yes, you absolutely can! Like many fruits, bananas become extra sweet when roasted, due to the caramelization process (which is heightened by the sprinkled sugar). Better yet, the inside gets ooey-gooey and warm, making the perfect complement to cold, silky vanilla ice cream. For best air-frying results, be sure to keep the peel on the banana, which will protect the fruit from sticking to the fryer.
How to Make Air Fried Bananas
To help you make your own air-fried bananas, we have developed the below guidelines from the original video. The amounts do not have to be exact; just keep a close eye on the banana so that it doesn’t burn.
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
- Drizzle of caramel syrup
Directions
Step 1: Prep the banana
Slice the banana in half vertically. Do not peel it first. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together. Sprinkle over the cut sides of the banana.
Step 2: Time to pop it in the air fryer!
Air-fry the banana at 400 degrees for 8 minutes, or until soft and caramelized.
Step 3: Add some ice cream
Top the warm banana with the ice cream and caramel drizzle. Enjoy immediately!
