Description
Crispy, sweet, and lightly spiced banana chips made effortlessly in the air fryer. A healthier alternative to store-bought versions with no added oils or preservatives.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- For the Banana Chips:
- 3 large slightly underripe bananas
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- 1. Slice bananas into 1/8-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline.
- 2. Toss banana slices with lemon juice in a bowl to prevent browning.
- 3. In a separate small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the coating.
- 4. Arrange banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed).
- 5. Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 8 minutes, then flip slices.
- 6. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the bananas.
- 7. Continue air frying for 4 minutes, then remove and sprinkle remaining mixture.
- 8. Air fry 2-3 more minutes until golden and crisp (watch closely to prevent burning).
- 9. Let cool completely – chips will crisp up further as they cool.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For extra crispness, leave the container slightly open. Best made with slightly green bananas as they hold shape better. Adjust cinnamon to taste preference.
