Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium bananas, firm but ripe
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or melted butter)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas
- Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even slices (about 1/8 inch thick) using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
- Coat with Cinnamon-Sugar
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon together.
- Lightly brush both sides of the banana slices with coconut oil, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over both sides.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer
- Place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure the slices don’t overlap to allow even cooking. You may need to work in batches.
- Cook the Banana Chips
- Set the air fryer to 300°F (150°C) and cook for 10–15 minutes, flipping the banana slices halfway through.
- Check for doneness after 12 minutes; they should be golden and slightly crisp. The chips will continue to crisp as they cool.
- Cool and Serve
- Remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For best results, use bananas that are firm and just ripe. Overripe bananas will be too soft.
- Adjust the sugar and cinnamon to taste or replace the sugar with a sugar substitute for a healthier option.
- If your banana chips aren’t crisping, increase the cooking time in 2-minute increments, checking frequently to prevent burning.
