Ingredients
Scale
Banana Chips
- 2 ripe but firm bananas
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Slice Bananas: Peel the bananas and carefully slice them evenly into thin rounds about 1/8 inch thick to ensure even crisping.
- Coat with Coconut Oil: Place the banana slices in a mixing bowl and gently toss them with the melted coconut oil until all slices are evenly coated.
- Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, mixing well to create a flavorful coating.
- Season Banana Slices: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the banana slices and gently toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap to allow for proper air circulation and crispiness.
- Air Fry: Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to promote even browning.
- Monitor and Cool: Keep a close eye towards the end of cooking to prevent burning. Once golden and crisp, remove the chips and let them cool in the basket for a few minutes to achieve extra crispiness before serving.
Notes
- Use bananas that are yellow with minimal brown spots for the best texture and flavor.
- For extra crisp chips, slice the bananas as thinly as possible and avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness for up to 3 days.
