Ingredients
-
2 firm bananas
-
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
-
Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds (about ⅛ inch thick).
-
Place the banana slices in a mixing bowl and toss gently with the melted coconut oil until lightly coated.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
-
Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
-
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the banana slices.
-
Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
-
Remove the chips and let them cool on a plate or wire rack. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
Notes
-
Use firm, just-ripe bananas to avoid soggy chips.
-
Slice bananas evenly for consistent cooking.
-
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket—cook in batches if needed.
-
For less sugar, reduce the amount or use coconut sugar instead.
-
Store cooled chips in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature.
