Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted) or vegetable oil
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Start by selecting ripe bananas. Look for bananas that are yellow with a few brown spots; they should be firm but slightly soft to the touch.
  2. Peel the bananas and place them on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the bananas into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. As you slice the bananas, place them in a large mixing bowl to help prevent them from browning too quickly.
  4. Once all the bananas are sliced, drizzle the lemon juice over the banana slices and gently toss to ensure they are evenly coated.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the sugar.
  6. If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, adjust the amount of cinnamon to your liking or experiment with other spices.
  7. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
  8. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the banana chips from sticking.
  9. Brush a thin layer of melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil) over the parchment paper.
  10. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the banana slices in batches to ensure even coating, and gently toss to coat thoroughly.
  11. Arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
  12. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the banana slices for about 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping them halfway through.
  13. Keep an eye on the banana chips during the last 30 minutes of baking to ensure they do not burn.
  14. Once done, remove the banana chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
  15. After cooling completely, transfer the banana chips to an airtight container for storage.
  16. If the chips have lost their crispiness, re-crisp them by placing them back in a low oven (around 200°F) for about 10-15 minutes.
  17. Serve the cinnamon sugar banana chips as a snack, or use them as toppings for yogurt, oatmeal, or desserts.
  18. Consider adding other flavors to the cinnamon sugar mixture, such as vanilla extract or cocoa powder.
  19. For a healthier version, reduce the amount of sugar or use a sugar substitute.
  20. If you have a dehydrator, set it to 135°F (57°C) and dehydrate the banana slices for about 6-8 hours, or until crispy.
  21. Enjoy the process of making cinnamon sugar banana chips and feel free to experiment with different spices and flavors.
