Cinnamon-Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips

These crispy, sweet, and lightly spiced banana chips are a healthy snack made effortlessly in the air fryer—no deep-frying needed! Perfect for guilt-free munching.

Ingredients

• 2-3 firm, slightly underripe bananas (yellow with a hint of green)

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent browning)

• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• Cooking spray or light oil (avocado or coconut oil works well)

Instructions

1. Prep the Bananas

• Peel bananas and slice them very thinly (about 1/8-inch thick) using a sharp knife or mandoline.

• Toss slices in lemon juice to prevent oxidation (browning).

2. Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

• In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon.

3. Air Fry in Batches

• Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil.

• Arrange banana slices in a single layer (no overlapping) and lightly spray with oil.

• Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

• Remove chips while still warm and immediately sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.

4. Cool & Crisp Up

• Let chips cool on a wire rack—they’ll crisp up further as they cool.

• Repeat with remaining batches.

Tips for Success

✔ Use slightly underripe bananas (too ripe = soggy chips).
✔ Slice evenly for uniform cooking.
✔ Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days (if they last that long!).

Serving Ideas

• Enjoy as a snack, over yogurt, or with nut butter for dipping.

Crunchy, sweet, and addictive! 🍌✨
