Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe but firm bananas (peeled and thinly sliced into rounds, about 1/8-inch thick)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or melted butter
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas:
- Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds (about ⅛-inch thick) using a sharp knife.
- Coat with Cinnamon-Sugar:
- In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon.
- Toss the banana slices gently with coconut oil or melted butter, then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Air Fry the Chips:
- Place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap. Work in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crisp. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to avoid burning.
- Cool and Serve:
- Transfer the banana chips to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up further as they cool.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
- For extra crunch, sprinkle a touch of sea salt over the banana chips before air frying.
- Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin banana slices.
- If you prefer them sweeter, lightly drizzle with honey or maple syrup after cooling.
