Ingredients to Air Fry Banana

Banana- I would not suggest ripe banana but a slightly firmer,light yellow banana.Robusta works great.You can also experiment with some native firm banana types!

The most important tip here would be how to slit the banana.Keep the banana on the counter and then choose the flat surface on top and slit it with a knife.

The reason to do this is so that the banana sits slit side up in the air frier.

How do you make Air Fried Banana

You can do this in two ways..

Either Slice the banana into two halves, lengthwise.Drizzle some brown sugar on top.You could also add sugar and cinnamon instead.

Place is in single layer in the air fryer basket- Make sure not to over lap the bananas.

Air fry the banana for 8 minutes.Remove from the air frier and your air fryer caramalized bananas are ready to eat!

Other way of doing this is, slice through banana from the middle using a sharp knife.This is done on top of the peel.Check the video for details.

Air fry for 8 minutes.

Just place it on the plate, add your toppings and use to a spoon to scoop in!

The first way, you get a bit of caramalisation on the banana.It's a little more firm.The second way, you get a pudding.It's gooey,warm and very comforting!

We prefer the second way because it's lesser work.Also, because we keep the peel on, it makes eating super easy.
