Cinnamon Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips (Printable version)

Crispy air-fried banana slices with cinnamon sugar coating for a sweet, healthy snack.

# List of ingredients:

01 - 3 large ripe but firm bananas

02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

03 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

04 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted (or neutral oil)

05 - Pinch of sea salt

01 - Peel the bananas and cut them into thin, even slices about 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform thickness.

02 - Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until evenly blended.

03 - Brush banana slices lightly with melted coconut oil on both sides, then sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over both sides.

04 - Place coated banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary to prevent overlapping.

05 - Cook at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Monitor closely during final minutes to prevent burning.

06 - Transfer chips to a wire rack and let cool completely. Chips will crisp further as they cool. Add sea salt if desired.

01 -

The air fryer transforms simple bananas into crispy chip perfection without the oil heavy mess of deep frying
That cinnamon sugar coating hits the perfect balance between sweet treat and wholesome snack

02 -

Slightly underripe bananas produce the crispiest chips, while overripe ones will turn chewy no matter how long you cook them
The chips might feel slightly soft when you first remove them, but they crisp up dramatically during cooling

03 -

A mandoline slicer creates perfectly uniform chips that cook evenly, but watch your fingers carefully
Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper for easy cleanup if any sugar caramelizes and drips
