Equipment
- Air fryer
- Sharp knife or mandoline slicer
- Mixing bowl
- Parchment paper or nonstick spray
- Wire cooling rack
Ingredients
- 3 ripe but firm bananas
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp coconut sugar or honey (optional)
- Nonstick spray or parchment paper
Instructions
- Slice bananas: Peel and slice bananas into thin rounds (about ⅛ inch thick).
- Season: Toss slices in a bowl with cinnamon and optional sweetener until evenly coated.
- Prepare air fryer: Line basket with parchment paper or lightly spray with oil.
- Air fry: Arrange slices in a single layer. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Cool: Transfer chips to a wire rack. They will crisp further as they cool.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container.
- Expert tip: Slice bananas evenly for consistent crispiness and avoid overcrowding the basket.
Notes
- Storage: Keep in airtight container for 3–4 days. Freeze for longer storage.
- Reheating: Re-crisp in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes before serving.
- Variations: Try chocolate-dipped, spicy cinnamon-cayenne, or holiday-inspired with nutmeg and cloves.
- Tip: Use firm bananas—overripe ones will turn mushy instead of crisp.
