Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by peeling your ripe bananas and slicing them into uniform ½-inch rounds.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter (or coconut oil), honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Gently toss the sliced bananas in the sweet mixture until they're fully coated.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.
  5. Once preheated, carefully arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  6. Air fry the bananas at 350°F (175°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Carefully remove the banana slices using a spatula and transfer them to a serving plate.
  8. Feel free to add optional toppings such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or yogurt before serving.
  9. Serve your sweet and crunchy air fried bananas warm for the best experience.

Notes

Using ripe bananas is key; unripe ones won't caramelize properly, resulting in less flavor. Always preheat your air fryer for even cooking.
