Ingredients
Scale
Banana Chips
- 2 firm bananas
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prep the bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into even, thin rounds about ⅛ inch thick using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife for uniform chips.
- Coat the slices: Gently toss the banana slices in a mixing bowl with melted coconut oil to lightly coat both sides.
- Mix the topping: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly.
- Sprinkle: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping, then lightly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over them.
- Air fry: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through to ensure even crisping. Keep a close watch near the end to prevent burning.
- Cool and crisp: Remove the chips and let them cool on a wire rack or plate; they will become crispier as they cool.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use firm bananas to achieve the best texture and avoid mushy chips.
- Adjust sugar quantity or omit for a lower-sugar option.
- For easy cleanup, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper if desired, ensuring air circulation is not blocked.
- Monitor closely during air frying to prevent burning, as thickness may affect cooking time.
- Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain crispness.
