Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2 ripe yet firm bananas thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract optional, for extra flavor
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup optional, for added sweetness
For Garnish (Optional):

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bananas
- Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds (about ⅛-inch thick).
- In a mixing bowl, toss the banana slices with melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and vanilla extract (if using).
Step 2: Coat with Coconut
- Gently toss the banana slices with shredded coconut, ensuring a light, even coating.
Step 3: Air-Fry the Banana Chips
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 2 minutes.
- Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket (do not overlap).
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they become golden and crisp.
Step 4: Cool & Serve
- Remove from the air fryer and let the chips cool for 5 minutes (they will continue to crisp up).
- Serve immediately or store for later!
Notes
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Extra Crispy Tip: Use slightly underripe bananas for firmer chips.
- Sweeter Option: Sprinkle with a touch of coconut sugar before air frying.
