Banana Chips
- 2 medium ripe bananas (firm, yellow with minimal spotting)
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Cooking spray (optional)
- Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into uniform thin rounds—about 1/8 inch thick is ideal. Thin slices ensure even cooking and crispness.
- Preheat and Prep the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 330°F (165°C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray or line it with perforated parchment for easy cleanup.
- Mix the Cinnamon and Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the coconut or brown sugar with the cinnamon. Set aside.
- Coat the Banana Slices: Place the banana slices in a mixing bowl and gently toss with the cinnamon-sugar mixture until lightly coated.
- Air Fry in Batches: Lay the banana slices in a single layer in your air fryer basket or tray, making sure they don’t overlap. Air fry for 10–14 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Check for Crispness: The chips are ready when golden brown and crisp at the edges. Some may need an extra 2–3 minutes depending on thickness and air fryer model.
- Cool and Crisp: Let the chips cool on a wire rack for 5–10 minutes. They’ll crisp up even more as they cool.
Notes
- For best results, use firm ripe bananas with minimal spotting to avoid soggy chips.
- Adjust the sugar quantity to taste or substitute with your preferred sweetener.
- Ensure banana slices are of consistent thickness for even cooking.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on the chips as they cook.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
