Instructions:
Step 1
Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes.
Step 2
Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds, aiming for about 1/8-inch thickness for the crispiest results.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the coconut oil (or melted butter), sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
Step 4
Toss the banana slices gently in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they’re fully coated.
Step 5
Lay the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket.
Step 6
Make sure they aren’t overlapping to ensure even cooking. You may need to work in batches if your air fryer basket is small.
Step 7
Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Step 8
Keep an eye on them toward the end to avoid burning. The chips will crisp up as they cool.
Step 9
Once done, remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack or plate to ensure they get extra crispy.
Serve right away or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Pro Tips:
Slice Evenly: Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thickness to ensure the chips cook evenly.
Sweet & Salty Twist: Sprinkle a little sea salt on the chips after air frying for an added flavor boost.
Storage: Keep your chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigeration to maintain their crispiness.
