Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). This step gets your cooker ready so bananas crisp up nice and even.
- Peel your bananas and slice them thin into rounds. You want them thin enough to get crispy but not so thin they fall apart.
- In a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together. This is gonna coat your banana slices in sweetness and spice.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mix over the banana slices. Toss gently so every piece gets some love.
- Lay banana slices out in a single layer in the air fryer basket—don’t crowd ‘em, or they won’t get crispy.
- Air fry those slices for 10 to 15 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to keep everything cooking evenly.
- After cooking, pull your basket out and let the bananas cool a bit before diving in. That natural release of heat keeps ’em from getting soggy.
Notes
Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon sugar mix for a subtle twist.
If you gotta make it fast, use a slow release method on your pressure cooker to cool down quicker, but watch closely so bananas don’t get soggy.
Use parchment paper in your air fryer basket to help with easy cleanup and keep those banana chips from sticking.
