FAQ's
This delicious treat goes well with a number of foods. Served simply with vanilla ice cream, adding bananas into your granola, smoothie or yogurt makes healthy recipes which enhances the flavors in your breakfast or midday snack. Simply adding them to a bowl of fresh fruits is quite yummy. Bananas can also be a quick snack warm or cold.
Type of ripeness can depend on your individual tastes and what you have in your kitchen. They can be ripe or firm bananas. Firmer bananas may need an additional time in the air fryer. If you don't have ripe bananas, you can squeeze fresh lemon juice or lime juice onto the banana slices to soften them. This also slows down the browning process.
This tasty treat is best enjoyed when freshly cooked. If there are leftovers, they can be stored in refrigerator for up to 5 days. Once bananas have cooled you can store them in your freezer in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to a month.
