Cinnamon-Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips
Crispy, sweet, and lightly spiced, these banana chips are a quick and easy snack made in an air fryer with minimal effort.
Ingredients
For the Base
- 2 pieces ripe bananas Ripe bananas work best for sweetness.
For the Coating
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon Use ground cinnamon; can reduce to 2 teaspoons for less spice.
- 1 tablespoon sugar Can substitute with sugar substitute or light brown sugar for a richer flavor.
- Cooking spray Helps prevent sticking and encourages browning.
Instructions
Preparation
- Peel the bananas and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar until well blended.
- Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray and arrange the banana slices in a single layer.
Cooking
- Sprinkle the banana slices evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 15–20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through.
- Continue cooking until the slices are golden and crispy; timing may vary.
Cooling
- Transfer the chips to a rack or a plate and allow them to cool before serving.
Notes
Watch closely toward the end of cooking, as sugar can caramelize quickly. For variations, try honey-cinnamon or spiced with nutmeg.
