Description
Imagine a delightful, crunchy snack that satisfies your sweet tooth while providing a nutritious boost from the humble banana. Introducing “Cinnamon Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips” – a guilt-free indulgence that will have you reaching for more!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe but firm bananas, sliced into thin, even pieces (about 1/8 inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Start by cutting the ripe but firm bananas into thin, even slices, about 1/8 inch thick. This will ensure they cook evenly and achieve the desired crispy texture.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss the banana slices in the mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.
3. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes to ensure it’s ready for the banana slices.
4. Arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry them at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning, as cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model.
5. Once the “Cinnamon Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips” are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool completely. As they cool, they’ll continue to crisp up, resulting in a satisfyingly crunchy texture.
Notes
Opt for ripe but firm bananas for the best results. Overripe bananas may turn mushy, while unripe ones may not achieve the desired crispness.
The ratio of sugar and cinnamon can be adjusted to suit your personal preferences. If you prefer a less sweet treat, reduce the sugar. For a more pronounced cinnamon flavor, increase the amount of ground cinnamon.
Keep a close eye on the banana slices during the air frying process to prevent them from burning. Additionally, make sure the slices are evenly coated in the oil-sugar-cinnamon mixture for a consistent flavor and texture.
