How to Make Ripen Banana in the Microwave
- 1Peel and slice banana or bananas in a microwave safe bowl.
Cover with waxed paper.
Microwave for one minute.
Mash with a fork.
Let cool.
Ready to use in your favorite recipe when cool and have ripened(turned dark). - 2Note:
I sliced 3 bananas in a bowl and it only took 1 minute to get them ripe.
But every microwave is different.
Make sure to let them cool on the cupboard as they turn black and ripen sweetly as they cool. Hugs,Pat - 3Note:
Here is another banana fact:
Place a piece of plastic wrap or foil tightly around the stem ends of a bunch of banana and they will stay fresh and yellow longer and not turn dark- if you want to keep them fresh. It works I've tried it. Have had bananas on the counter for 1 week already still fresh!
