Ingredients
Scale
Banana Chips
- 2 ripe but firm bananas, peeled and sliced into thin rounds (about ⅛-inch thick)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or melted butter
Coating
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Bananas: Slice bananas into thin, even rounds approximately ⅛-inch thick to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
- Coat with Cinnamon-Sugar: In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly. Toss banana slices in melted coconut oil or butter to coat evenly, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the slices, ensuring each slice is well coated.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to prepare it for cooking the banana chips uniformly.
- Air Fry: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to allow even crisping. Monitor carefully to avoid burning as cooking times can vary.
- Cool and Serve: Once done, transfer the banana chips to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them crisp up further. Serve and enjoy your crunchy, sweet snack.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to achieve the best texture; overly ripe bananas may become too soft.
- Keep the banana slices evenly sized to ensure uniform cooking.
- Watch the chips closely during air frying as they can burn quickly.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- You can substitute coconut oil with melted butter or any neutral oil of choice.
