Make crunchy, sweet banana chips quickly using your air fryer. This recipe uses minimal oil and a simple cinnamon sugar coating for a satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 firm, slightly under-ripe bananas
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Peel the bananas and slice them thinly, aiming for about 1/8 inch thickness. Uniform slices help them cook evenly.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and salt together thoroughly.
  3. Place the banana slices in a medium bowl. Drizzle the melted coconut oil over the slices and toss gently until all slices are lightly coated.
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the oiled banana slices. Toss again carefully to ensure the coating adheres to both sides of each slice.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius) for 3 minutes.
  6. Arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overlap them, as this prevents crisping. Work in batches if necessary.
  7. Air fry for 8 to 12 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time (around 5 minutes), pause the air fryer, shake the basket gently, or flip the slices with tongs.
  8. Continue cooking until the chips are golden brown and feel firm and crisp to the touch.
  9. Remove the chips immediately from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up more as they cool.

Notes

  • Use firm, slightly green bananas for the best chip texture; very ripe bananas will become soft or burn easily.
  • If the sugar mixture clumps, press the slices lightly into the mixture before placing them in the air fryer.
  • If you notice sticking, lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray before adding the first batch.
