Banana Chips Ingredients
- 2 firm bananas (slightly underripe)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or melted butter
- 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 it reaches the right temperature for even cooking.
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds about ⅛-inch thick to achieve a perfect crisp texture when cooked.
- Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly for an even coating.
- Coat the Banana Slices: Gently toss the banana slices with the melted coconut oil or butter, making sure each slice is lightly and evenly coated to help the cinnamon-sugar stick.
- Add the Cinnamon-Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the banana slices, tossing gently to ensure each piece has a uniform layer of sweet spice.
- Air Fry: Lay the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overlapping to let the hot air circulate properly. Air fry for 15 minutes at 300°F, flipping the slices halfway through to crisp both sides evenly.
- Cool and Serve: Once the banana chips turn golden brown and crisp, remove them from the air fryer and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your homemade crispy cinnamon-sugar banana chips as a delicious snack!
Notes
- Use slightly underripe bananas for a firmer texture that crisps better.
- Be careful with the thickness of the slices; too thick and they won’t crisp well, too thin and they might burn.
- The choice of coconut oil or butter can affect flavor; coconut oil adds a subtle tropical note while butter enriches the taste.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- Flip the banana slices halfway through air frying to ensure even crisping on both sides.
