Banana Chips Ingredients
- 2 ripe but firm bananas
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Slice Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them thinly into rounds about 1/8 inch thick to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to create the seasoning blend.
- Coat Bananas: Toss the banana slices gently in the melted coconut oil to lightly coat each piece, helping the seasoning stick better and promoting crispiness.
- Season Banana Slices: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the banana slices and toss lightly again to distribute the coating evenly.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) to ensure it is hot enough for even air circulation and crisping.
- Arrange in Basket: Place the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overlapping to allow air to circulate around each chip for crispiness.
- Air Fry: Cook the banana slices for 15-18 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to achieve an even golden color and crisp texture.
- Cool: Once done, remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack to firm up and get even crispier before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid mushy chips.
- Thickness of slices is important; too thick and chips won’t crisp properly.
- You can adjust sugar and cinnamon amounts to taste.
- Let chips cool fully for maximum crispiness.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crunch.
