Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- Coconut oil spray
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into rounds about ¼-inch thick. Ensure all slices are of uniform thickness for even cooking.
- Season the Slices: Arrange the banana rounds in a single layer on a plate or tray. Lightly spray them with coconut oil and sprinkle generously with ground cinnamon.
- Air Fry the Banana Bites: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Once preheated, place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking. Watch them closely towards the end to avoid over-browning.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once done, remove the banana bites from the air fryer. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions:
- Pair with Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein.
- Garnish with chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for extra crunch.
