Ingredients
Fruit
- 2 ripe but firm bananas
Coating
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
Cinnamon Sugar Mix
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, into rounds. Thin slices ensure a crisp, chip-like texture after air frying.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. This mixture will enhance the sweetness and add a subtle spicy note to the chips.
- Coat Banana Slices with Oil: Gently toss the banana slices in the melted coconut oil to ensure each piece gets a light, even coating that aids crisping in the air fryer.
- Dust with Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the oil-coated banana slices, tossing lightly again so each slice is well-coated with flavor.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes so the chips cook evenly.
- Arrange and Air Fry: Place the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. “Air fry for 15-18 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as thin slices can cook quickly.”
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack. This allows them to crisp up further. Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Choose bananas that are ripe but firm for best texture and sweetness.
- Slice bananas as evenly and thinly as possible for uniform crispiness.
- Do not overlap banana slices in the air fryer, or they may stick together and cook unevenly.
- For extra flavor, try sprinkling a pinch of nutmeg or adding a touch of vanilla extract to the sugar mix.
- These chips are best eaten the day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
