How to Cook Turon in an Air Fryer | Air Fried Banana Roll

If you're looking for a delightful treat that’s both easy to make and deliciously crispy, turon, or banana rolls, cooked in an air fryer is the perfect choice. Here’s how to whip up this fantastic dessert using a Ninja air fryer.

Ingredients:

• Ripe bananas (preferably Cavendish)
• Spring roll wrappers
• Brown sugar
• Oil spray (optional)
• Cinnamon (optional, for added flavour)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling your ripe bananas and cutting them in half lengthwise. If they’re particularly large, you may want to quarter them for easier rolling.

2. Coat with Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon if you fancy a bit of spice. Roll each banana piece in this mixture until well-coated.

3. Wrap the Bananas: Take a spring roll wrapper and lay it flat on a clean surface. Place a piece of the sugar-coated banana at one edge and fold the sides in, then roll it up tightly, sealing the edge with a dab of water. Repeat this process for all banana pieces.

4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your Ninja air fryer to 180°C (356°F) for about 5 minutes. This ensures that your turon cooks evenly and becomes nice and crispy.

5. Air Fry the Turon: Lightly spray the wrapped banana rolls with oil to enhance crispiness, then place them in the preheated air fryer basket, making sure they aren’t overlapping. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Once you’ve achieved a lovely crisp, remove the turon from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve them warm, perhaps with a scoop of ice cream on the side.

Using an air fryer to cook turon offers a healthier twist on this beloved Filipino snack, retaining all the delicious sweetness while keeping the oil content low. Enjoy your sweet, air-fried banana rolls!

Dehydrating food using a Ninja Air Fryer is a straightforward and efficient way to preserve fruits, vegetables, and even meats. To begin, ensure you have the right ingredients prepared; fresh produce should be washed, peeled if necessary, and sliced evenly to promote uniform drying.

Firstly, set your Ninja Air Fryer to the dehydrate function, which typically operates at a lower temperature around 60 to 70 degrees Celsius (140 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit). Spread the sliced items evenly in the air fryer basket, ensuring there’s enough space between them to allow for proper airflow.

Next, depending on the type of food you're dehydrating, set the timer. For fruits like apples and pears, about 6 to 8 hours should suffice, while vegetables may take around 4 to 6 hours. It’s advisable to check the items periodically for the desired texture.

Once the dehydrating process is complete, allow the food to cool before storing it in airtight containers. This method not only extends the shelf life of your snacks but also intensifies their flavours, resulting in delicious, portable treats. Enjoy experimenting with different ingredients and find your perfect dehydrated delights!
