Here’s a quick and easy recipe for Cinnamon-Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips! These crispy, sweet treats are perfect for a healthy snack or a fun addition to any meal.
Cinnamon-Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe but firm bananas (peeled and thinly sliced into rounds)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or melted butter
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes while you prepare the banana chips.
2. Prepare the Bananas:
- Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds (about 1/8 inch thick). This will help them cook evenly in the air fryer.
3. Coat the Banana Slices:
- In a bowl, mix the coconut oil (or melted butter), granulated sugar (or coconut sugar), and ground cinnamon.
- Toss the banana slices in the mixture to coat each piece evenly.
4. Air Fry the Chips:
- Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until the bananas are crispy and golden brown.
5. Cool & Enjoy:
- Remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before enjoying. They will crisp up even more as they cool.
Tips:
- For Extra Crispiness: If you prefer your banana chips even crispier, you can air fry them for an additional 2-3 minutes, but keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them crispy for up to 2 days.
- Flavor Variations: You can also sprinkle a little sea salt on top for a sweet-and-salty twist, or add a touch of vanilla extract to the sugar mixture for extra flavor.
These Cinnamon-Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips are a healthy, addictive snack that will satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt!
