Ingredients
Scale
Banana Chips
- 2 ripe but firm bananas
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or neutral oil
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/8-inch thick rounds to ensure extra crispiness when cooked.
- Coat with Oil: Place the banana slices in a bowl and gently toss them with the melted coconut oil to lightly coat each slice and help them crisp up.
- Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Mix: In a small dish, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Apply the Seasoning: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the banana slices, then toss again to coat all slices evenly with the sweet spice blend.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Lay the banana slices in a single layer inside your air fryer basket, ensuring none overlap for even cooking.
- Air Fry the Chips: Cook at 330°F (165°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time to achieve uniform golden brown and crisp texture. Watch closely during the last minutes to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the banana chips and let them cool completely on a wire rack or plate; they will become crispier as they cool down.
Notes
- Use just-ripe bananas that are yellow with minimal brown spots for the best texture and sweetness.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain crispiness for up to 1 week.
