Ingredients
Scale
Banana Chips
- 2 ripe but firm bananas, peeled and sliced into â…›-inch rounds
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or melted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds about â…› inch thick to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Mix Coating: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- Coat the Banana Slices: Lightly brush or toss the banana slices with coconut oil or melted butter to help the cinnamon-sugar mixture stick and to aid in crisping.
- Apply Cinnamon-Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar blend over the banana slices evenly, ensuring each slice is coated.
- Air Fry the Slices: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap for even cooking. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely to achieve maximum crunchiness. Serve as a snack or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use firm bananas to prevent the chips from becoming mushy.
- Adjust the sugar amount for desired sweetness or substitute with a sugar alternative.
- Ensure the banana slices are in a single layer to allow even air circulation and crisping in the air fryer.
- Cool the chips fully before storing to maintain their crisp texture.
- These chips are best eaten within 2-3 days for optimum freshness.
