Cinnamon Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips (Printable)
Crispy air-fried banana slices coated with warm cinnamon sugar for a naturally sweet, crunchy snack.
# What You'll Need:
→ Bananas
01 - 3 large ripe but firm bananas
→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted (or neutral oil)
→ Optional
05 - Pinch of sea salt
# How to Make It:
01 - Peel the bananas and cut them into thin, even slices approximately 1/8 inch thick for consistent cooking.
02 - Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until thoroughly blended.
03 - Brush both sides of banana slices lightly with melted coconut oil, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over each side.
04 - Place coated slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches as needed to prevent overlapping.
05 - Cook at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, flipping chips halfway through. Monitor closely during final minutes to prevent burning.
06 - Transfer chips to a wire rack to cool completely. Chips will achieve maximum crispiness as they cool. Optional: sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
