Sweet Cinnamon Air Fryer Banana Chips

### Ingredients

* 2 ripe but firm bananas (not too soft)
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional for extra sweetness)
* Cooking spray or a light brush of coconut oil

### How to Make Sweet Cinnamon Air Fryer Banana Chips

1. **Slice Your Bananas:** Peel the bananas and slice them thinly and evenly, about 1/8-inch thick. Thinner slices mean crispier chips.

2. **Season:** In a bowl, toss the banana slices with cinnamon and maple syrup or honey if using. The natural sugars caramelize during cooking, enhancing the sweetness.

3. **Prepare the Air Fryer:** Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with cooking spray or coconut oil to prevent sticking.

4. **Air Fry:** Arrange the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes. Flip the chips halfway through to ensure even crisping.

5. **Cool and Enjoy:** Once golden and crispy, remove the chips and let them cool on a wire rack — they’ll crisp up even more as they cool.

### Tips for Perfect Banana Chips

* Use bananas that are ripe but firm — too ripe, and the slices will be mushy instead of crispy.
* Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary for best results.
* Keep a close eye near the end of cooking — banana chips can go from perfectly crisp to burnt quickly.
