Ingredients
-
2 ripe but firm bananas
-
1 tbsp coconut oil or melted butter
-
1 tbsp cinnamon-sugar mix (or make your own with 1 tbsp sugar + ½ tsp cinnamon)
Optional Add-ins:
-
A pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth
-
A sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet-salty twist
-
A drizzle of honey after air frying for extra sweetness
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bananas
Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds—about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick.
Try to keep the slices the same size for even cooking.
Step 2: Coat the Banana Slices
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon if you’re making your own blend.
Lightly brush both sides of the banana slices with coconut oil or melted butter.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over both sides of the slices.
Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
Step 4: Air Fry the Banana Chips
Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 350°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to prevent burning—every air fryer can vary slightly.
Step 5: Cool and Crisp Up
Remove the banana chips from the air fryer and place them on a cooling rack.
They will crisp up more as they cool.
Step 6: Serve
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container once completely cooled!
Notes
Slice Evenly – Thin, even slices ensure even crisping.
Don’t Overcrowd – Cook in batches if needed so the chips crisp, not steam.
Flip Carefully – Helps both sides crisp evenly.
Watch Closely – They can go from golden to burnt quickly in the last couple of minutes.
Cool Completely – Helps them achieve the best crunch.
