Scale
Ingredients
- 1 large banana
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the banana: Peel the banana and slice it into ½ inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and easy handling.
- Melt the butter: Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave until fully melted, usually about 20-30 seconds.
- Coat the bananas: Add the sliced bananas to the melted butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to evenly coat each banana slice with the spiced butter mixture.
- Air fry the bananas: Lightly grease the air fryer basket to prevent sticking. Arrange the coated banana slices in a single even layer in the basket. Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 4 minutes, allowing the bananas to caramelize and soften beautifully.
Notes
- For an extra touch, serve with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey.
- You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
- Use ripe but firm bananas for the best texture; overly ripe bananas might become too mushy.
- Adjust cinnamon to taste depending on your preference.
- Make sure to arrange the banana slices in a single layer to ensure even cooking and avoid steaming.
