Make crispy, sweet banana chips quickly in your air fryer with a simple cinnamon sugar coating.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 firm, slightly green bananas
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for color retention)

Instructions

  1. Peel the bananas and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. Use a mandoline for uniform slices if you have one.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the banana slices with the melted coconut oil and lemon juice, if using, until lightly coated.
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together.
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the banana slices and toss gently until the slices are evenly coated.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
  6. Arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overlap them. You will need to work in batches.
  7. Air fry for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket gently halfway through the cooking time.
  8. Check the chips frequently after the 10-minute mark. The chips are done when they are dry and crisp. Watch closely to prevent the sugar from burning.
  9. Remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up more as they cool.

Notes

  • Use firm bananas; overly ripe bananas will become mushy instead of crisp.
  • For extra crispness, you can lightly spray the slices with oil before coating them in the sugar mixture.
  • Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
