How to Ripen Bananas Fast: It Takes One Hour
We often buy green bananas in the store: sometimes because there is no other choice, and sometimes consciously, because such fruits will definitely last a long time, gradually ripening at home.
But sometimes the maturation process takes too long.
What to do if you are going to make banana muffins or have a snack on a ripe banana, and the fruit is still bitter, hard and green, said Yulia Arkhipova, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, a chef.
How to Ripen Bananas in 1 Hour
If you need to get ripe bananas quickly, use the baking method. This method is very simple:
- Line a baking sheet or loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Preheat oven to 150 degrees.
- Place the bananas on a baking sheet (note, do not peel them, leave the fruit unpeeled).
- Bake the fruit in the oven, setting the timer for 1 hour.
When you open the oven door, you will see that the banana peel has turned black. Don't be alarmed - the banana pulp will be soft, sweet and delicious.
Let the bananas cool, peel them and you can use them to add to dough, smoothies, fruit salad and other dishes.
