Description

Discover the perfect way to make crispy, sweet Cinnamon Sugar Banana Chips using slightly green bananas baked low and slow for ultimate crunch. This guide walks you through slicing, coating, and baking banana slices to golden perfection, creating a delicious snack that’s sweet, cinnamon-spiced, and satisfyingly crunchy.

Ingredients

Banana Chips Ingredients

  • 3 large, slightly green bananas (firmness is key!)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (or any neutral oil like canola or vegetable)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel the Bananas: Gently peel each banana, ensuring they are slightly green for firmness which helps in slicing thinly without mushiness.
  2. Slice the Bananas: Slice the bananas uniformly thin, about 1/8 inch thick, ideally using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife; place slices directly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to avoid sticking.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 225°F (107°C) to prepare for low and slow baking.
  4. Melt the Coconut Oil: If solid, melt coconut oil in the microwave for a few seconds until it becomes liquid.
  5. Brush with Oil: Lightly brush each banana slice with melted coconut oil for even coating, or toss gently in a bowl if preferred.
  6. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined for even flavor distribution.
  7. Sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on each banana slice, flipping slices to coat both sides for maximum flavor.
  8. Arrange on Baking Sheets: Spread banana slices in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets, making sure slices don’t touch to allow for even baking.
  9. Bake Low and Slow: Place baking sheets in the oven and bake for 1½ to 2 hours until the chips turn golden brown and crispy.
  10. Flip Halfway Through: After 45 minutes to 1 hour, flip banana chips to ensure they bake evenly on both sides.
  11. Check for Doneness: Banana chips are done when golden brown and firm to the touch; they will crisp further upon cooling.
  12. Cool Completely: Remove from oven and let the chips cool fully on baking sheets to achieve maximum crunch.

Notes

  • Use slightly green bananas as they hold up better during baking; overripe bananas may become soggy.
  • For a deeper flavor, you can experiment with different oils but neutral oils work best.
  • Make sure to slice bananas uniformly thin to ensure even baking and crispiness.
  • Baking time may vary depending on oven; keep an eye on the chips after 1½ hours to prevent burning.
  • Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
