Cinnamon-Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips
These crispy and delightful cinnamon-sugar banana chips are a quick and guilt-free snack perfect for satisfying sweet cravings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium bananas Opt for firm, yellow ones with minimal spots for the best texture.
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar Can substitute with brown sugar for a more caramel-like sweetness.
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon This is where the magic happens!
- Cooking spray Optional, but helps prevent sticking.
Instructions
Preparation
- Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick for even cooking.
- Preheat the air fryer to 330°F (165°C) and lightly spray the basket with cooking spray or line it with perforated parchment paper.
Mixing
- In a small bowl, mix the coconut sugar and cinnamon together until blended. Set aside.
- Toss the banana slices gently in a mixing bowl with the cinnamon-sugar blend until lightly coated.
Cooking
- Place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap.
- Air fry for 10-14 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping. They're done when golden brown and crisp around the edges. Additional cooking time may be needed based on thickness.
- Let the chips cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes to become even crisper.
Notes
For serving, these chips are fantastic on their own, with almond butter or yogurt for dipping, or as a topping for granola or nice cream. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days, or freeze for longer storage, keeping in mind the potential texture change. Adjust the cinnamon and sugar to your taste.
