Needless to say, you can enjoy banana chips in so many ways. Personally, I love adding mine on top of banana pancakes or adding them to my yogurt and oatmeal bowls in the mornings. But when I am just craving them, I eat them plain as a little afternoon snack or late-night dessert.
Everyone will love them – I promise!

Ingredients in banana chips
You only need four ingredients to make these insanely delicious homemade banana chips! I love adding mine on top of pancakes, into my oatmeal or yogurt bowls, and even eating them on their own. Here is a list of ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe:
- Banana: First up, you’ll need a firm and green-ish banana. When we cook the banana rounds in the air fryer, the heat releases their natural sugars and makes them soft and tender on the inside! There is no starchy taste; promise.
- Coconut Oil: You’ll only need 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to help these banana chips crisp up on the outside. Alternatively, you can use spray avocado or olive oil.
- Cinnamon: I just love the taste of cinnamon and banana.
- Salt: A pinch of salt give these air fried banana chips the perfect sweet and salty combination.

How to make banana chips in the air fryer
These air fried banana chips are sweet and tender on the inside but super crispy on the outside. And they’re single serve, which makes them perfect for a quick breakfast addition, snack, or dessert. Here are step-by-step instructions:
Step 1: First, preheat your air fryer to 350°F and spray the basket with olive oil or nonstick spray.
Step 2: Next, peel and cut the banana cut into thin ¼ inch rounds. After that, add the banana slices into a bowl and toss with the melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3: Evenly space out the slices into the heated basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 4: Finally, air fry for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Then increase the temperature to 360°F and air fry for an additional 1 – 2 minutes until golden and crispy.
Remove the chips from the air fryer basket and let “cool” for 3 – 5 minutes on a plate. They may seem soft at first but will firm after resting. Enjoy!
