Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium green (unripe) bananas
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Peel the green bananas and slice them thinly, aiming for about 1/8 inch thickness. Uniform slices help them crisp evenly.
- In a medium bowl, toss the banana slices with the melted coconut oil until lightly coated.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together.
- Lightly dust the oiled banana slices with the cinnamon sugar mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Preheat your air fryer to 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius).
- Arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; work in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 10 to 14 minutes, shaking the basket gently every 5 minutes.
- Check the chips around the 10-minute mark. They are done when they look dry and feel firm. If they are not crisp, continue cooking in 2-minute increments.
- 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 green or slightly underripe bananas; ripe bananas will brown too quickly and become soft rather than crispy.
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly blot the oiled slices with a paper towel before coating them with sugar.
- If you prefer a less sweet chip, reduce the sugar to 1.5 tablespoons.
