Ingredients
Scale
Banana Chips
- 2 firm bananas (slightly underripe)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or melted butter
Cinnamon-Sugar Coating
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into â…›-inch-thick rounds, making sure the slices are uniform for even cooking.
- Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well mixed.
- Coat the Banana Slices: Gently toss the banana slices with melted coconut oil or butter, evenly coating each slice to help the cinnamon-sugar stick and aid in crisping.
- Add the Cinnamon-Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the coated banana slices and toss gently to ensure all slices are evenly covered with the flavorful coating.
- Air Fry: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. Air fry at 300°F for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to achieve a uniform golden brown and crisp texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the banana chips from the air fryer once crispy and golden. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy your crunchy cinnamon-sugar banana chips as a tasty snack!
Notes
- For best results, use slightly underripe, firm bananas to ensure the chips hold their shape and crisp up nicely.
- If using butter instead of coconut oil, melt it first for easier coating.
- Make sure slices are evenly spaced in the air fryer basket to allow hot air circulation for crispiness.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- Adjust sugar amount according to your preferred sweetness level.
