Ingredients
Scale
Banana Chips
- 2 ripe but firm bananas
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Slice Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, into rounds to ensure they crisp up well in the air fryer.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to create the cinnamon sugar coating.
- Coat Banana Slices: Gently toss the banana slices in the melted coconut oil so each piece is lightly coated, helping the cinnamon sugar stick and promoting crispiness.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the banana slices and toss lightly again to evenly distribute the sweet and spicy coating.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) and let it preheat for a few minutes to achieve the best cooking results.
- Arrange Slices: Place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure to avoid overlap so they cook evenly and become crispy.
- Air Fry: Cook for 15-18 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to ensure golden, crispy banana chips on both sides.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips and let them cool completely on a wire rack, which helps them crisp up further before serving.
Notes
- Use firm but ripe bananas to get the best texture; overly ripe bananas may become too soft.
- Adjust the sugar quantity to make it less sweet if preferred.
- Make sure slices are uniformly thin for even cooking.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
