Cinnamon-Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips are a delightful and healthy sweet snack made from ripe bananas coated with a cinnamon and coconut sugar mixture, then air fried to crispy perfection. These chips offer a guilt-free alternative to traditional sugary snacks, combining natural sweetness with a warm spice flavor and a satisfyingly crunchy texture ideal for on-the-go munching or as a tasty dessert topping.

Ingredients

Scale

Banana Chips

  • 2 medium ripe bananas (firm, yellow with minimal spotting)

Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional

  • Cooking spray (for air fryer basket)

Instructions

  1. Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into uniform thin rounds—about 1/8 inch thick is ideal. Thin slices ensure even cooking and crispness.
  2. Preheat and Prep the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 330°F (165°C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray or line it with perforated parchment for easy cleanup.
  3. Mix the Cinnamon and Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the coconut or brown sugar with the ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. Coat the Banana Slices: Place the banana slices in a mixing bowl and gently toss with the cinnamon-sugar mixture until lightly coated.
  5. Air Fry in Batches: Lay the banana slices in a single layer in your air fryer basket or tray, making sure they don’t overlap. Air fry for 10–14 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Check for Crispness: The chips are ready when golden brown and crisp at the edges. Some may need an extra 2–3 minutes depending on thickness and air fryer model.
  7. Cool and Crisp: Let the chips cool on a wire rack for 5–10 minutes. They’ll crisp up even more as they cool.

Notes

  • Use firm ripe bananas with minimal spots for best crispness and sweetness.
  • Slice bananas as thinly and uniformly as possible to ensure even cooking.
  • If your air fryer basket tends to stick, lightly spray or use perforated parchment paper.
  • Cook in batches and avoid overcrowding for maximum crispness.
  • Allow banana chips to cool fully to reach their optimal crunchiness before storing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
