Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces ripe but firm bananas Look for bananas with just a hint of brown speckles.
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or melted butter Rich fat that adds flavor and helps the cinnamon-sugar adhere.
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar or coconut sugar Choose coconut sugar for a subtle, caramel-like flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon The star spice that adds warmth and aroma.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix the coconut oil (or melted butter) with the sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Gently toss the sliced banana rounds in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until each slice is evenly coated.
  4. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with a little cooking spray.
  5. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cooking
  1. Air fry the banana slices for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
  2. Watch for a golden color and crispiness that indicates doneness.
  3. Once crispy and golden, remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for later.

Notes

To enhance flavors, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the cinnamon-sugar mixture. For an adventurous twist, try adding nutmeg or vanilla extract. Dipping in yogurt or dark chocolate can add extra flavor.
