Air-fried banana slices dusted in cinnamon sugar for a crisp, sweet snack with delicate crunch.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 3 ripe but firm bananas

→ Coating

02 - 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or neutral oil
03 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Method:

01 - Preheat air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes.
02 - Peel bananas and slice into 1/8-inch thick coins.
03 - Gently toss banana slices with melted coconut oil in a medium bowl until evenly coated.
04 - In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
05 - Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over banana slices and toss to coat evenly.
06 - Arrange coated banana slices in a single, non-overlapping layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary.

# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • If you love sweet crunch but hate fussy snacks, these chips deliver without guilt or mess.
  • They became my go-to when store-bought options always tasted a bit tired by comparison.
02 -
  • One time I tried overlapping the slices and got a sticky, disappointing clump—single layer is non-negotiable.
  • Letting the chips fully cool is what truly crisps them up—if you taste too early, they’ll be a bit chewy.
03 -
  • For ultra-thin chips, a mandoline makes all the difference—just watch your fingers.
  • If the chips on the edge brown faster, give the basket a gentle shake around halfway through.
