Description
Cinnamon-Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips are a healthy, crunchy snack made with thinly sliced bananas, cinnamon-sugar, and minimal oil. Air-fried to crispy perfection, these chips offer a delicious balance of natural sweetness and warm spice.
Ingredients
- 2 firm, slightly underripe bananas
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or melted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional pinch of salt
Instructions
- Peel and slice bananas thinly—about ⅛-inch rounds for the best crispiness.
- In a small bowl, stir together sugar (or coconut sugar) and cinnamon until evenly mixed.
- Gently toss banana slices with melted coconut oil or butter to coat.
- Sprinkle or toss with the cinnamon-sugar mixture for even coverage.
- Preheat air fryer to 300°F (150°C), then arrange the slices in a single layer—avoid overlap.
- Air fry for 15–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Cooking time varies by air fryer and slice thickness.
- Transfer chips to a wire rack to cool completely—they continue crisping as they cool.
Notes
- For extra seasonal warmth, add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice.
- For a savory option, skip sugar and add sea salt and paprika.
- Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the chips for a decadent treat.
- Use stevia or another sugar substitute for a low-sugar version.
- Toss with crushed nuts before air frying for extra crunch.
