Ingredients
Scale
- 2 firm, slightly under-ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. Uniform thickness helps them crisp evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together.
- In a separate bowl, toss the banana slices with the melted coconut oil until lightly coated.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the oiled banana slices and toss gently to coat all sides.
- Arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Do not overlap them. Work in batches if necessary.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 14 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time.
- Check the chips after 10 minutes; they are done when they look dry and feel firm. If they are not crisp, continue cooking in 2-minute intervals.
- Remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up more as they cool.
Notes
- Use firm, slightly green bananas; very ripe bananas will become soft or burn easily.
- For the crispiest results, ensure the banana slices are in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
