Ingredients
Banana Chips
- 2 firm bananas
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Slice Bananas: Slice the firm bananas into thin, even rounds to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
- Coat with Coconut Oil: Toss the banana slices gently with melted coconut oil to help them crisp up and to adhere the cinnamon sugar better.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the cinnamon sugar coating.
- Apply Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the banana slices, ensuring each slice gets a light coating.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap for even cooking.
- Air Fry: Air fry the banana slices at 300°F (150°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides get crispy.
- Cool: Allow the banana chips to cool completely; this step is crucial as it lets them crisp up properly before serving.
Notes
- Thinner banana slices result in crispier chips because they cook more evenly and lose moisture faster.
- Store the cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness; they keep well for up to 2 days.
