Ingredients
Scale
Banana Chips
- 2 ripe bananas (about 200g)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Cooking spray (as needed)
Instructions
- Slice Bananas: Peel and thinly slice the bananas into approximately 1/8-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Toss the banana slices gently in the mixture until they are evenly coated with the cinnamon sugar blend.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat, ensuring optimal cooking temperature.
- Prepare Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer without overlapping for even airflow and crisping.
- Air Fry: Cook the banana slices in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to achieve golden brown edges and a crispy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the banana chips and let them cool slightly to allow maximum crunch before enjoying your sweet cinnamon snack.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe but firm bananas to avoid overly soft chips.
- Adjust the cinnamon and sugar quantity to taste for a sweeter or spicier snack.
- Store leftover banana chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- Flipping halfway is important to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- If your air fryer is small, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the basket.
