Scale
Ingredients
- 2 ripe but firm bananas
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Slice Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds about â…› inch thick to ensure even cooking.
- Toss with Coconut Oil: Place the banana slices in a bowl and gently toss them with the melted coconut oil to coat evenly, which helps achieve crispiness and flavor.
- Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: In a small dish, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, mixing well to create a balanced seasoning.
- Coat Banana Slices: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the banana slices and toss gently again to evenly distribute the sweet spice blend on each chip.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Lay the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap for optimal air circulation and even crisping.
- Air Fry: Cook the banana slices at 330°F (165°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping them halfway through to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Cool and Serve: Once golden and crisp, remove the chips and let them cool for a few minutes so they firm up before serving for the best texture.
Notes
- For crispier chips, slice bananas thinner, but be cautious to prevent burning.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Substitute brown sugar for a richer, deeper flavor profile.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for an extra hint of warmth and spice.
