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, ensuring even slices for uniform cooking.
- Melt the Butter: Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and heat it until melted, usually about 20-30 seconds.
- Coat the Bananas: Add the banana slices, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the melted butter. Stir gently to evenly coat all the banana slices with the spiced butter mixture.
- Air Fry the Bananas: Lightly grease the air fryer basket and arrange the coated banana slices in a single even layer to ensure proper cooking. Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 4 minutes until the bananas are caramelized and tender.
Notes

- Keep the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer to enable even caramelization.
- Feel free to sprinkle chopped nuts or a drizzle of honey after air frying for added texture and sweetness.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately after cooking for optimal flavor and texture.
