Description
Sweet, crispy, and easy to make, these cinnamon sugar air fryer banana chips are a wholesome snack made with just a handful of ingredients. Naturally sweetened and lightly spiced, they deliver a perfect crunchy bite every time.
Ingredients
3 ripe but still firm bananas
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (or any neutral oil)
2 tablespoons sugar (white or coconut sugar)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Place the banana slices in a large bowl and drizzle with melted oil, tossing gently to coat.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the banana slices and toss again to coat evenly.
- Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
- Remove the chips and cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
Notes
Use firm, ripe bananas for best results; overripe ones won’t crisp properly.
Let chips cool fully to maximize crunch.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
For a sugar-free version, skip the sugar and use only cinnamon.
Add nutmeg or pumpkin spice for a seasonal twist.
To re-crisp, air fry for 1-2 minutes before serving.
