Ingredients
2 ripe but firm bananas
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and slice them thinly into rounds (about 1/8 inch thick).
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Toss the banana slices gently in the melted coconut oil to coat.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the banana slices and toss again to distribute the coating.
- Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
- Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap. Air fry for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crispy.
- Remove the chips and let them cool completely on a wire rack to crisp up further before serving.
- Enjoy the banana chips as a snack, topping for yogurt, or light dessert.
Notes
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder for a spicy kick.
- For an indulgent treat, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the chips or sprinkle with shredded coconut after air frying.
- For a savory version, skip the sugar and cinnamon, and season with smoked paprika or garlic powder.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- To re-crisp, place the banana chips back in the air fryer for a couple of minutes.
