Ingredients
- Ripe but Firm BananasChoose bananas that are yellow with very few brown spots. They should be firm enough to slice easily but sweet enough for good flavor.
- Granulated SugarThis adds sweetness and helps create that wonderful caramelized crust on your banana chips.
- Ground CinnamonThe star spice, ground cinnamon provides warmth and aromatic depth that pairs perfectly with banana.
- Cooking Spray or Light OilA light mist of cooking spray or a brush of oil prevents sticking and aids in achieving that desired crispiness.
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Bananas
- Step 2: Season the Banana Slices
- Step 3: Preheat and Arrange in Air Fryer
- Step 4: Air Fry to Perfection
- Step 5: Cool and Enjoy
Notes
- To keep your banana chips wonderfully crispy, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days; humidity is their enemy!
- If your chips lose a bit of their crunch overnight, a quick 2-3 minute tumble in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) will bring back that glorious crispiness.
- While fantastic on their own, try sprinkling these cinnamon sugar delights over yogurt parfaits, oatmeal, or even vanilla ice cream for an unexpected and delicious topping.
- For the most evenly crisp banana chips, make sure to slice your firm-ripe bananas to a uniform thickness, about 1/4 inch, and arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer to prevent steaming.
