Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 large banana
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Banana: Peel the banana and slice it into ½ inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
  2. Melt the Butter: Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, which helps evenly coat the bananas with flavor.
  3. Coat Bananas with Spices: Add the banana slices to the melted butter, then sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt over them. Gently stir to evenly coat each banana slice without breaking them.
  4. Air Fry Bananas: Lightly grease the air fryer basket and arrange the coated banana slices in a single, even layer. Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 4 minutes to achieve a caramelized, tender finish with a slight crisp on the edges.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness and texture.
  • Adjust the cinnamon and sugar to taste for more or less sweetness and spice.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture; the bananas soften further as they cool.
  • These can be served as a topping for oatmeal, pancakes, or ice cream.
  • Ensure the air fryer basket is greased to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
