Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Chips - Light, Crispy, and Irresistible

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time8 minutes
Total Time18 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • Flour tortillas (8–10 small or 6 large) – Regular or low-carb tortillas both work.
  • Unsalted butter, melted (3–4 tablespoons) – For that toasty, crisp finish.
  • Granulated sugar (1/3 cup) – Adjust to taste.
  • Ground cinnamon (1–1.5 teaspoons) – Use fresh, fragrant cinnamon for best flavor.
  • Pinch of fine salt – Optional, but it sharpens the sweetness.
  • Cooking spray – Lightly coat the basket to prevent sticking.
  • Optional dips – Whipped cream, fruit salsa, chocolate sauce, or Greek yogurt with honey.

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer. Set it to 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes. A hot basket helps the chips crisp faster.
  • Mix the cinnamon sugar. In a small bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust the cinnamon to your liking.
  • Prep the tortillas. Stack and cut tortillas into wedges—quarters for large tortillas, or sixths for smaller ones. Aim for even pieces so they cook at the same rate.
  • Brush with butter. Lightly brush both sides of each wedge with melted butter. You want a thin coat, not a soak.
  • Coat with cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle the mixture generously over both sides. Press lightly so it adheres. Shake off excess.
  • Arrange in the basket. Spray the air fryer basket. Place wedges in a single layer with minimal overlap. Work in batches to avoid crowding.
  • Air fry. Cook for 4–6 minutes, flipping halfway. Start checking at 4 minutes. They should be golden and crisp but not dark brown.
  • Cool briefly. Transfer to a wire rack for 2–3 minutes. They crisp even more as they cool.
  • Taste and finish. If you want extra sparkle, dust with a little more cinnamon sugar while warm. Repeat with remaining wedges.
  • Serve. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with your favorite dips.
