Banana Chips Ingredients
- 2 firm bananas (slightly underripe)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or melted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes to ensure an even cooking temperature for the banana chips.
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into â…›-inch-thick rounds, ensuring uniform thickness for even crisping.
- Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined to create a sweet and aromatic coating.
- Coat the Banana Slices: Gently toss the banana slices with the melted coconut oil or butter, making sure each slice is lightly and evenly coated to help the cinnamon-sugar mixture stick.
- Add the Cinnamon-Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the coated banana slices and toss gently to ensure every slice is evenly covered with the flavorful mixture.
- Air Fry: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure the slices do not overlap for even cooking. Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 15 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to achieve golden brown and crispy chips.
- Cool and Serve: Once crisp and golden brown, remove the banana chips from the air fryer and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy as a healthy, crunchy snack.
