Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 firm ripe bananas (slightly underripe with a hint of yellow, about 1 medium banana per 10–15 chips)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or coconut sugar
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or a few drops for brushing
  • Cooking spray (as needed to lightly coat banana slices)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them thinly and evenly, about 1/8 inch thick, using a sharp knife or mandoline to ensure uniform slices for even crisping.
  2. Mix the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon powder and sugar. If using vanilla extract, add a few drops to the mixture or lightly brush it onto the banana slices to deepen flavor.
  3. Coat the Banana Slices: Lightly spray the banana slices with cooking spray to help the cinnamon sugar stick. Gently toss or sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the slices, making sure each piece is coated but not soggy.
  4. Air Fry the Banana Chips: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Cooling helps develop maximum crunch. Once cooled, serve immediately or store.

Notes

  • Uniform slices ensure even cooking and prevent some chips from turning soggy or burning.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket—give each chip enough space to crisp properly.
  • Allow banana chips to cool completely for optimal crunchiness before eating or storing.
  • Adjust cooking times according to your specific air fryer model as needed.
  • Customize the sweetness by adjusting sugar amount, but avoid too much sugar to prevent quick caramelization.
  • Use cooking spray or perforated parchment paper to prevent sticking in the air fryer.
