Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe but firm bananas Choose bananas that are slightly yellow with a few spots.
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or melted butter Coconut oil adds a subtle fragrance; melted butter gives a rich flavor.
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar or coconut sugar This will caramelize slightly during cooking.
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon Gives the chips warm, aromatic qualities.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for even cooking.
- In a small bowl, mix together the coconut oil (or melted butter), sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- Slice the bananas thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, and toss them into the cinnamon-sugar mixture for even coating.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry the banana slices for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Once crispy, carefully remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let cool for a few minutes.
Notes
Serve the chips as a snack, in breakfast bowls, or as a topping on yogurt. Avoid using overly ripe bananas and ensure uniform slices for best texture.
