How to Create the Perfect Air Fryer Banana Chips

Perfect Slicing Technique

Creating uniform, thin slices for even cooking and optimal crispness.

Flavor Infusion

Allowing bananas to marinate briefly in the honey-cinnamon mixture for deeper flavor.

Air Fryer Setup

Arranging slices in a single layer with proper spacing for maximum air circulation.

Timing and Temperature Control

Monitoring cooking process carefully to achieve ideal crispness without burning.

Baking Tips

Choose slightly underripe bananas for chips that hold their shape better and aren't too sweet.

Cut the bananas as uniformly as possible to ensure even cooking.

Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - work in batches for the crispiest results.

Keep a close eye on the chips during the last few minutes of cooking as they can quickly go from perfect to burnt.

For different flavor variations, try adding a pinch of nutmeg, cardamom, or vanilla extract to the coating mixture.

If you prefer sweeter chips, you can sprinkle a small amount of coconut sugar on the chips immediately after removing from the air fryer.

These chips are best consumed within 1-2 days, as they may start to soften if stored longer.

If your chips lose their crispness, you can refresh them with a quick 1-minute cycle in the air fryer.

Ingredients

Custard Cream

2 firm bananas (slightly underripe works best)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)

Cooking spray or 1 teaspoon coconut oil (for the air fryer basket)

Instructions

Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick. The more uniform the thickness, the more evenly they will cook.

In a medium bowl, mix the lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), and cinnamon until well combined.

Add the banana slices to the bowl and gently toss until all slices are evenly coated with the mixture.

Let the banana slices marinate in the mixture for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (165°C) for 2-3 minutes.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with a thin layer of coconut oil to prevent sticking.

Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't overlap. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Cook for 7-8 minutes, then flip the banana slices.

Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the chips are golden brown and crispy around the edges.

Remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Once cooled, sprinkle with optional salt if desired.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
