Banana Chips Ingredients
- 2 ripe but firm bananas, sliced into 1/8-inch rounds
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Coat Banana Slices: In a medium bowl, toss the banana slices with melted coconut oil until they are evenly coated, which helps them crisp up while air frying.
- Make Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to create the flavorful coating for the chips.
- Apply Cinnamon-Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the banana slices and toss gently so that each slice is evenly coated with the sweet and spicy mixture.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure the slices do not overlap to allow for uniform air frying.
- Air Fry the Chips: Cook the banana slices in the air fryer for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides become golden and crisp.
- Cool the Chips: Remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack or plate; they will continue to crisp as they cool down.
- Repeat if Needed: If you have more banana slices, repeat the process with the remaining slices until all chips are cooked and crisp.
Notes
- Use slightly underripe bananas for best texture and crispiness.
- For a vegan version, ensure the sugar used is vegan-certified.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
