Ingredients
Scale
- 2 firm, ripe bananas
- 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Slice the Bananas: Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds, about ⅛ inch thick, ensuring even cuts for uniform cooking.
- Prepare the Coating: Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Lightly coat the banana slices with melted butter or coconut oil, then sprinkle them evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes.
- Cook the Banana Chips: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap. Cook in batches if needed. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to prevent burning.
- Cool and Enjoy: Move the cooked banana chips to a wire rack to cool completely. They’ll crisp up as they cool. Enjoy right away or store in an airtight container for up to two days.
Notes
- Make sure the banana slices are uniform in thickness to ensure even cooking.
- For a healthier option, substitute white sugar with coconut sugar or a sugar alternative of your choice.
- If your air fryer is small, cook the chips in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days.
- For added flavor, you can customize the cinnamon-sugar mix by adding shredded coconut, chili powder, or maple syrup for variety.
