  • Peeling the bananas and slicing then lengthwise. Cut each banana into two.
  • In a small mixing bowl, mix together cinnamon and brown sugar. Keep this aside.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush each bananas slice with ghee (or melted butter).
  • Place a sheet of foil in the air fryer basket and transfer the slices to the foil.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon-brown sugar over the banana slices.
  • Air fry at 390 F (200 C) for 7 minutes (no need to flip them over during the air frying cycle). At the end of the air frying cycle, take out the air fryer basket.
  • If you are using under-ripe bananas you may want to air fry for 2-3 minutes more to caramelize the bananas.

Notes

Depending on the ripeness of the bananas you are using you will get slightly different results. Use overripe bananas (yellow with black spots) for softer, slightly mushy bananas that caramelize quickly. Use just-ripe bananas if you want them firmer and slightly crisp.
