Description
These naturally sweet, crispy banana chips are air-fried to perfection with a touch of cinnamon and sugar. A healthy snack that’s super easy to make!
Ingredients
2 medium ripe bananas (firm, yellow with minimal spotting)
1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cooking spray (optional)
Instructions
Slice the Bananas:
Peel bananas and slice into uniform thin rounds (about ⅛ inch thick). Thin slices = even crispiness.
Preheat Air Fryer:
Preheat air fryer to 330°F (165°C). Spray basket lightly with cooking spray or use perforated parchment for easier cleanup.
Mix Cinnamon Sugar:
In a small bowl, combine the coconut sugar (or brown sugar) and cinnamon.
Coat Banana Slices:
Place banana slices in a bowl and gently toss with the cinnamon-sugar mixture until lightly coated.
Air Fry in Batches:
Arrange banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket/tray. Don’t let them overlap. Air fry for 10–14 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Check for Crispness:
Banana chips are ready when golden and crispy on the edges. Depending on thickness and air fryer model, you may need an extra 2–3 minutes.
Cool and Enjoy:
Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 5–10 minutes. They’ll crisp up more as they cool. Enjoy as a snack or topping!
Notes
Use firm bananas: Overripe ones will be mushy.
Even slices: Helps avoid burning or soggy chips.
Don’t overcrowd: Airflow is key for crisp chips. Cook in batches if needed.
Storage: Store in an airtight container for 1–2 days. They’re best fresh!
