Why did my banana catch fire in the microwave?

Why did my banana catch fire in the microwave?

Wow, that sounds like a silly question, but really! My wife froze bananas
in the freezer with the peel still on. You can't peel them frozen. I put
it in the microwave for one minute at 50% power. After 30 seconds the thin
end of the peel (where a bunch connect to each other) was on fire, with a
visible flame (about the size of a lighter). What on earth happened?
