Ingredients:
- Ripe bananas
- puff pastry
- Egg yolk (for icing)
- Toppings of your choice (e.g. almond shavings, chopped nuts, chocolate chips)
- Optional: Powdered sugar
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Preheat your air fryer to 180 degrees Celsius.
-
Peel and slice the bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into slices of about 0.5 to 1 centimeter thick. Make sure the slices are not too thin, so that they do not become too soft during baking.
-
Roll the slices in puff pastry: Take a sheet of puff pastry and wrap it around each banana slice, so that the banana is completely covered. Trim or cut off the excess pastry and press the edges firmly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
-
Icing and toppings: Beat the egg yolk and use a pastry brush to lightly coat each banana bite. This will give it a nice golden color and a crunchy texture. Then sprinkle the tops of the bites with toppings of your choice, such as flaked almonds, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips.
-
Baking in the air fryer: Place the banana bites in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on the bites to make sure they don't get too dark.
-
Optional topping: If extra sweetness is desired, sprinkle some powdered sugar over the banana bites immediately after they come out of the air fryer.
-
Serving: Let the banana bites cool for a few minutes before serving. They are delicious as a warm treat, but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
Enjoy these delicious banana bites as a dessert, snack or even as a surprising element at a brunch. They are easy to make, full of flavor and guaranteed to be a hit with everyone who tastes them. So get out that air fryer and enjoy this crispy and delicious treat!
