Make crispy banana chips at home using an air fryer, coated in a simple cinnamon and sugar mixture for a sweet, spiced snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 firm, slightly green bananas
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Peel the bananas and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. Use a mandoline for uniform slices if you have one.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the banana slices with the melted coconut oil until lightly coated.
  4. In a small separate bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and salt thoroughly.
  5. Place the oiled banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; work in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry for 8 minutes.
  7. Carefully remove the basket, gently toss the chips, and sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over them.
  8. Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are crisp. Check frequently after the 5-minute mark to prevent burning.
  9. Remove the chips and immediately sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over them. Let them cool completely on a wire rack; they will crisp up further as they cool.

Notes

  • Use firm bananas; very ripe bananas will become soft or burn easily.
  • For a less sweet coating, reduce the sugar to 1 tablespoon.
  • If you do not have an air fryer, you can bake these at 300°F (150°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
