Put the bananas in a brown paper bag or airtight container and add an apple or tomato for an extra boost of ethylene. Seal the bag then leave it at room temperature overnight.
To ripen a banana in five minutes, place it on a microwave-safe plate. Then, poke the peel with a fork or knife to release steam. Microwave the banana in 30-second bursts, until it reaches your desired softness.
To use the oven method, preheat your oven to 300ºF. Then, place the unpeeled bananas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until they reach your desired softness.
