Ingredients
- 2 firm, slightly underripe bananas
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil (or melted butter)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) and preheat for 5 minutes.
- Slice Bananas: Peel bananas and slice into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Keep thickness uniform for even cooking.
- Coat with Oil: Toss banana slices gently with melted coconut oil or butter until lightly coated.
- Season: In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle the mixture over banana slices and toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange & Cook: Lay banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap. Air fry at 300°F for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
- Cool & Crisp: Transfer chips to a wire rack to cool completely—they’ll crisp up more as they cool.
Notes
- Use slightly underripe bananas for the best texture.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice for extra flavor.
- For a savory version, skip sugar and use sea salt + paprika.
- Chips can be refreshed in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes if they soften.
- Not ideal for freezing as they may lose their crunch.
