Tips to make Cinnamon-Sugar Air Fryer Banana Chips

1. Pick ripe bananas: The riper, the sweeter! They’re softer and give more flavor.
2. Experiment with spices: Cardamom or nutmeg can add a unique twist.
3. Don’t overcrowd the basket: This ensures even cooking and the perfect crisp.
4. Adjust sugar to taste: If you want it sweeter, just tweak as you go!
5. Keep an eye on them: Since air fryers vary, check for doneness at the 10-minute mark.

Variation

Feel free to get creative with flavors! For a vegan twist, simply omit the sugar and replace it with maple syrup. You can also dip them in dark chocolate once they’re cool for a decadent snack.

FAQs

Can I use green bananas?
Green bananas won’t caramelize as nicely, so stick with ripe ones for the best flavor.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! Just store them in an airtight container once cooled.

How do I make them crispier?
Ensure they’re sliced thin and give them space in the air fryer—crowding makes them softer.
