Ingredients
Scale
Banana Chips
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted) or cooking spray
Spice Mix
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Slice Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips will become.
- Mix Cinnamon-Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- Coat with Lemon Juice: Toss the banana slices gently in another bowl with the lemon juice to prevent browning and add a tangy flavor.
- Apply Coconut Oil: Drizzle or brush the melted coconut oil over the banana slices, ensuring even coating to help the cinnamon-sugar mixture stick.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon-Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the banana slices to add sweetness and warmth.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Arrange Slices: Place the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overlapping to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry: Cook the banana slices for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote uniform crisping.
- Cool Chips: Remove the banana chips when golden brown and crisp. Let them cool completely to harden.
- Serve: Enjoy your cinnamon-sugar banana chips as a healthy snack or sweet treat!
Notes
- For crispier chips, slice bananas as thin as possible, ideally 1/8 inch or thinner.
- You can replace granulated sugar with coconut sugar or brown sugar for a different flavor.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- Let chips cool fully after frying to reach maximum crispiness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
