Ingredients

Scale

Banana Chips

  • 2 ripe but firm bananas
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

Seasoning Mix

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, into rounds to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to create a balanced sweet and spiced powder.
  3. Coat the Banana Slices: Toss the banana slices gently in the melted coconut oil to evenly coat each piece, which helps the seasoning adhere and promotes crisp texture.
  4. Apply the Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the oiled banana slices, then toss lightly again to distribute the coating thoroughly.
  5. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure optimal cooking temperature.
  6. Arrange Banana Slices: Place the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overlapping, to allow hot air circulation and crisping.
  7. Air Fry the Chips: Cook the banana slices for 15-18 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to achieve golden brown and crispy chips on both sides.
  8. Cool Before Serving: Remove the banana chips and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them crisp up further for the perfect texture before enjoying.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm bananas to ensure slices hold their shape and crisp up without becoming mushy.
  • Adjust cinnamon and sugar quantities to taste preferences for sweetness and spice intensity.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to maintain crispiness.
  • Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
  • For a lower sugar option, reduce or omit the sugar and increase cinnamon to maintain flavor.
