Tips for Cinnamon-Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips

– If you want extra crunch, slice the bananas very thin and cook them a little longer at a slightly lower temperature. This helps remove more moisture without burning them.

– If your air fryer runs hot, check the bananas early. Every air fryer is a little different, so keep an eye on them the first time you make this recipe.

– One helpful tip is to choose bananas that are ripe but not too soft. Very soft bananas can turn mushy instead of crispy. Look for bananas that are yellow with just a few small brown spots.

– For a shortcut, you can mix a bigger batch of cinnamon sugar and keep it in a small jar. That way, it is ready anytime you want to make this recipe or sprinkle it on toast, oatmeal, or fruit.

What to Eat with Cinnamon-Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips ??

These cinnamon-sugar banana chips are perfect for snacking throughout the day, especially when paired with yogurt, peanut butter. I often pack them into lunchboxes as a crunchy sweet treat, and they’re great to munch on during car rides or after school.

Sometimes we serve them alongside smoothies or milk for an easy snack plate, and on movie nights, they replace store-bought chips without anyone complaining. If you’re building a homemade snack board, they also pair nicely with my Puffed Rice Bars for a mix of crunchy textures and light sweetness.

Ingredients :

These ingredients are simple on purpose. The bananas are the star, and the cinnamon sugar gives them flavor without covering up the natural sweetness of the fruit :

• 2 ripe but firm bananas.
  1 to 2 tablespoons sugar white or brown both work.
  ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
• Optional : a light spray of cooking oil.

How to Make Cinnamon-Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips :

Step 1

First, peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds. Try to keep them about the same thickness so they cook evenly. Thinner slices will be crispier, while slightly thicker ones will be a little chewy in the middle.

Step 2

Next, in a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. This is your cinnamon-sugar mix. Lay the banana slices out on a plate or cutting board and lightly sprinkle both sides with the cinnamon sugar. If you like, you can give the bananas a very light spray of cooking oil to help them crisp up, but this step is optional.

Step 3

Now, place the banana slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not stack them. If you have a lot of slices, cook them in batches. Set the air fryer to about 350°F (180°C) and cook for 8 to 12 minutes. Halfway through, gently flip the slices so they cook evenly on both sides.

Step 4

When they are done, the edges should look golden and feel crisp. Remember, they will get a little firmer as they cool. Take them out and let them rest for a few minutes before eating.
