Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas (preferably not overripe)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp sugar (you can adjust to your preference)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, to prevent browning)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Prep the Bananas:
-
Peel the bananas and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). Try to keep the slices uniform so they cook evenly.
-
Optionally, toss the banana slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and add a slight tang to the flavor.
-
-
Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:
-
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
-
-
Coat the Banana Slices:
-
Place the banana slices in a bowl and sprinkle them with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Toss gently until all the slices are evenly coated.
-
-
Preheat the Air Fryer:
-
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 2-3 minutes.
-
-
Cook the Banana Chips:
-
Place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd them—if necessary, work in batches.
-
Air fry for about 10-12 minutes, checking them halfway through and flipping them for even crispiness.
-
Keep a close eye on them as they can burn quickly. Once they’re golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer.
-
-
Cool and Serve:
- Let the banana chips cool for a few minutes (they’ll crisp up more as they cool). Then, enjoy them as a healthy snack or with a dip!
Notes
For a cheesy herb flavor, add fresh or dried rosemary, thyme, or parsley to the garlic butter.,For a spicy twist, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the cheese before baking.
