Instructions
You want bananas that are yellow with a few spots—ripe but still firm. Overripe bananas will become mushy and won’t hold their shape when sliced.
Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice bananas into even, thin rounds—about 1/8 inch thick. Uniform slices = even crispiness.
In a bowl, mix oil, cinnamon, sugar, and salt. Add banana slices and gently toss until coated. Be careful not to mash them.
Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and preheat for 3–5 minutes. This helps the chips cook evenly.
Place banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway. Keep a close eye during the last 2–3 minutes to avoid burning.
Let chips cool in a single layer. They’ll continue to crisp up as they cool.
