Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large large bananas, cut into fat coin-sized slices About 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar Brown sugar or coconut sugar can be used for a richer flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F), which typically takes about 5 minutes.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper, ensuring airflow.
- Pour the sugar into a small bowl. Roll each banana slice in the sugar to coat both sides.

Cooking
- Air fry for about 8 minutes, checking at 6 minutes for bubbling sugar and golden edges.
- Carefully remove the caramelized bananas and serve immediately.
Notes
For a lower-sugar option, use coconut sugar or maple syrup but note that texture will differ. Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom for a spiced variation.
