Ingredients
Banana Chips:
2 medium ripe bananas (firm, yellow with minimal spotting)
Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Additional:
Cooking spray (optional)
Instructions
Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into uniform thin rounds—about 1/8 inch thick is ideal. Thin slices ensure even cooking and crispness.
Preheat and Prep the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 330°F (165°C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray or line it with perforated parchment for easy cleanup.
Mix the Cinnamon and Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the coconut or brown sugar with the cinnamon. Set aside.
Coat the Banana Slices: Place the banana slices in a mixing bowl and gently toss with the cinnamon-sugar mixture until lightly coated.
Air Fry in Batches: Lay the banana slices in a single layer in your air fryer basket or tray, making sure they don’t overlap. Air fry for 10–14 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Check for Crispness: The chips are ready when golden brown and crisp at the edges. Some may need an extra 2–3 minutes depending on thickness and air fryer model.
Cool and Crisp: Let the chips cool on a wire rack for 5–10 minutes. They’ll crisp up even more as they cool.
Notes
Use firm bananas: Overripe bananas are too soft and can become mushy instead of crisp.
Slice evenly: Uniform slices ensure consistent texture and avoid burning.
Don’t overcrowd: Airflow is crucial for crispy results. Cook in batches if needed.
