Ingredients
Scale
Banana Chips
- 2 medium ripe bananas (firm, yellow with minimal spotting)
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Other
- Cooking spray (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the bananas. Peel the bananas and slice them thinly into even rounds, about 1/8-inch thick, to ensure crispness and even cooking.
- Mix the cinnamon sugar. Combine the coconut sugar (or brown sugar) and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, setting aside the sweet spice mixture.
- Preheat the air fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes to achieve optimal cooking temperature.
- Arrange the banana slices. Lightly spray the air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Lay the banana slices in a single layer in the basket, making sure they do not overlap to allow proper air circulation and crisping.
- Air fry the banana chips. Cook the banana slices at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness. Watch closely near the end to prevent burning, as cooking times may vary by air fryer model.
- Season and cool. Once the banana chips are crisp and golden, remove them from the air fryer and immediately toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly. Allow the chips to cool completely on a wire rack or parchment paper, which helps them crisp up further.
- Serve or store. Enjoy your cinnamon-sugar banana chips immediately as a delicious snack, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain crispness.
Notes
- Use firm, ripe bananas with minimal spotting for best results; overly ripe bananas may be too soft to crisp properly.
- If you don’t have coconut sugar, brown sugar is a suitable substitute to maintain sweetness and texture.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model; keep an eye on the chips during the last few minutes.
- Cooling the chips on a wire rack helps them stay crispy rather than soggy.
