Cinnamon-Sugar Banana Chips (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 tablespoon sugar, granulated
02 -
1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
03 -
2 medium-sized bananas, ripe but firm
04 -
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
# Instructions:
01 -
Use a sharp blade or mandoline to carefully remove the banana peels and slice the bananas thinly. Aim for roughly 1/8 inch slices for an even texture.
02 -
Combine the ground cinnamon with the sugar in a tiny bowl. Stir until the mixture looks evenly blended.
03 -
Brush each slice of banana with melted butter or coconut oil on both sides. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar combo evenly over each piece.
04 -
Lay the coated bananas in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Make sure they don’t overlap so they cook evenly. Depending on your air fryer’s size, you might need multiple batches.
05 -
Cook the bananas at 300°F (150°C) for 10–15 minutes. Flip them halfway, and check around the 12-minute mark. They should look golden and feel slightly crisp. Remember, they’ll crisp up more as they cool.
06 -
Let the chips cool completely on a cooling rack. Once they’re fully cooled, eat them right away or keep them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
# Notes:
01 -
To get the best crunch, use bananas that are still firm. Soft or overripe ones won't work well for crisping up.
02 -
Feel free to tweak the sugar and cinnamon amounts to suit your tastes. You can also swap sugar for natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit for a lighter option.
03 -
If your chips aren’t crisping how you want, add 2 more minutes of cooking at a time. Just keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
