Banana Chips Ingredients
- 2 ripe but firm bananas
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds about ⅛ inch thick to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Coat with Coconut Oil: Place the banana slices in a bowl and gently toss them with the melted coconut oil to help the cinnamon sugar stick and enhance the flavor.
- Mix Cinnamon-Sugar: In a small dish, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt; then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the banana slices, tossing gently to coat all pieces.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Lay the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding any overlap to allow proper air circulation for crisping.
- Air Fry: Cook at 330°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to ensure they turn golden and crisp on both sides.
- Cool and Serve: Let the chips cool for a few minutes outside the air fryer to firm up before enjoying this crunchy, sweet snack.
Notes
- For crispier chips, slice the bananas thinner but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Substitute granulated sugar with brown sugar for a richer flavor.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mix for an extra warm spice note.
