Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Guilt-Free Indulgence: Enjoy a sweet, crunchy snack with wholesome ingredients and a much lighter twist than store-bought banana chips.
  • Quick & Easy Prep: Minimal effort and simple steps let you whip up a satisfying snack, start-to-finish, in less than an hour.

  • Endlessly Customizable: Switch up the spices or sweeteners to make these Air Fryer Cinnamon-Sugar Banana Chips truly your own.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Simple, clean ingredients are the secret to the irresistible flavor and crunch of these chips. Every item here serves a tasty purpose—think golden slices, caramelized edges, and a warm yet refreshing kick of lemon and spice.

  • 2 medium green DOLE® Bananas: Green, just-under-ripe bananas are perfect—they firm up in the air fryer and give you that essential crisp snap.
  • 2 teaspoons coconut sugar: This natural sweetener brings a caramel-like flavor without overpowering the delicate banana.
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon: Warm, comforting cinnamon infuses every chip with a fragrant, bakery-style twist.
  • 1/4 DOLE® Lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon): Lemon juice keeps the banana slices from browning and lifts the flavor for an extra burst of brightness.
  • Vegan nonstick cooking spray: This ensures the chips get perfectly golden, not stuck or soggy.
Note: You’ll find the complete list of ingredients, along with their exact measurements, in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Variations

One of the best things about Air Fryer Cinnamon-Sugar Banana Chips is just how easily you can make them your own. Whether you’re looking for a fun flavor twist, need to accommodate allergies, or just want to use whatever you have on hand, these chips adapt beautifully!

  • Try Different Spices: Swap out the cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice or a dash of nutmeg for a seasonal change-up.
  • Use Brown Sugar or Maple Sugar: Switch the coconut sugar for brown sugar or maple sugar for a different, but equally delicious, caramel depth.
  • Add a Touch of Sea Salt: For salty-sweet lovers, sprinkle a little flaky salt over the chips right after air frying.
  • Go Classic or Go Wild: Keep it simple, or add a pinch of cayenne or chili powder for a spicy-sweet snack adventure!

How to Make Air Fryer Cinnamon-Sugar Banana Chips

Step 1: Prep and Freeze the Bananas

Start by peeling your green bananas and popping them in the freezer for about 20 minutes. This quick chill makes slicing easier and helps the banana hold its shape when you cut it into those beautifully thin, chip-like slices.

Step 2: Mix Your Cinnamon-Sugar Magic

While the bananas are chilling, stir together your coconut sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. This fragrant, sweet-spiced mixture is what will give your chips that addictive flavor and aroma—don’t be afraid to take a little whiff!

Step 3: Slice & Lemon Brush

Once the bananas are firm, slice the first one diagonally into ⅛-inch-thick slices. Brush each slice lightly with lemon juice on both sides; this stops browning and perks up the banana’s natural flavor. Set aside as you prep your air fryer.

Step 4: Air Fry to Crisp Perfection

Preheat your air fryer to 325°F for about 5 minutes. Spray the basket lightly with nonstick spray, then lay out your banana slices in a single layer—don’t crowd them! Mist the tops of the slices, and air fry for 15 minutes, turning each slice once mid-way through, until golden and crisp. Move chips to a wire rack to cool and repeat with the second banana.

Step 5: Toss in Cinnamon-Sugar

Once all your banana chips are cooled (they crisp up even more as they cool!), transfer to a big bowl. Give one final very light spritz of nonstick spray, toss with your cinnamon-sugar mixture, and get ready for snacking bliss.

Pro Tips for Making Air Fryer Cinnamon-Sugar Banana Chips

  • Banana Ripeness Matters: Choose bananas that are still greenish—yellow ones will turn too soft and won’t crisp up properly.
  • Thin and Even Slices: Diagonal, paper-thin (⅛-inch) cuts let the chips get crunchy all the way through and air fry at the same rate.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Give each banana slice space in the air fryer basket; this ensures they bake into chips, not chewy rounds.
  • Sugar Toss at the End: Toss your chips in the cinnamon-sugar after air frying for the best sweet, crackly finish and no burnt sugar taste.

How to Serve Air Fryer Cinnamon-Sugar Banana Chips

Garnishes

For a little extra flourish, sprinkle warm banana chips with a touch more cinnamon, or even a dusting of powdered sugar right before serving. If you want a decadently sweet treat, a drizzle of melted dairy-free chocolate or a pinch of flaky sea salt really takes them over the top!

Side Dishes

These Air Fryer Cinnamon-Sugar Banana Chips are heavenly alongside a bowl of creamy coconut yogurt, warm oatmeal, or even as a crunchy topping for smoothie bowls. They also pair beautifully with coffee, hot chocolate, or as a sweet side for a brunch spread.

Creative Ways to Present

Serve your banana chips in cute paper cones for a party, little jars with ribbon as edible gifts, or arrange them on a platter around a creamy dip like almond butter or vegan caramel sauce. For kids, tuck a handful into lunchboxes for a fun, homemade snack surprise!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Store any cooled leftover banana chips in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay crisp and tasty for up to 4 days—if they even last that long! Just make sure the container is sealed tight to keep out humidity, which can soften the chips.

Freezing

While these chips are at their best fresh, you can flash-freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag and store for up to a month. Let them thaw at room temperature, and pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to recrisp if needed.

Reheating

If your banana chips lose their crunch, bring them back to life by spreading them in the air fryer basket and air frying at 300°F for 2–3 minutes. Cool completely on a rack—they’ll crisp up again in no time!

FAQs

  1. Can I use ripe bananas instead of green for these chips?

    It’s best to stick with green or just-under-ripe bananas for Air Fryer Cinnamon-Sugar Banana Chips. Ripe bananas tend to be too soft and can become mushy or sticky in the air fryer, resulting in chewy rather than crisp chips.

  2. How do I stop the banana chips from sticking to the basket?

    Make sure to generously spray your air fryer basket with nonstick spray before adding the banana slices, and spray the tops of the slices as well. This helps prevent sticking and encourages even browning.

  3. Do I need to flip the banana chips halfway through air frying?

    Yes, flipping the chips halfway helps both sides get evenly golden and super crispy. It’s a small step that really makes a difference in the final texture.

  4. Can I make a larger batch of Air Fryer Cinnamon-Sugar Banana Chips at once?

    For the best results, air fry the chips in single layers to ensure crispiness. If you’d like to make extra, simply repeat the process in batches—it’s well worth the effort!

Final Thoughts

If you’re ready for a sweet snack that’s easy, wholesome, and seriously addictive, you simply have to try Air Fryer Cinnamon-Sugar Banana Chips. Crisp, fragrant, and bursting with flavor—they’re my go-to for happy snacking, and I know you’ll fall in love with them too. Happy crunching!
