Ingredients
Banana Chips
- 2 firm bananas
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Toss with Oil: Place the banana slices in a bowl and toss them with the melted coconut oil or butter until evenly coated. This helps with crispiness.
- Make Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well to distribute the spice evenly.
- Coat Banana Slices: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the banana slices and gently toss to coat them thoroughly.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Lay the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure none overlap to allow even cooking.
- Air Fry: Cook at 300°F (150°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to achieve an even crispiness on both sides.
- Cool and Crisp: Remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely; they will become crisp as they cool down.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately as a crunchy snack or store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use slightly underripe bananas for better texture and crispiness.
- Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the banana slices; thinner slices crisp faster.
- Ensure banana slices are arranged in a single layer for even cooking.
- Feel free to adjust the cinnamon sugar ratio to your preferred sweetness and spice level.
