Ingredients
Scale
Banana Chips
- 2 bananas (green or slightly yellow, not ripe)
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil or olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Slice Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them into ¼-inch thick rounds for uniform crispiness.
- Prepare Cinnamon Oil Mix: In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon with the avocado or olive oil until blended well.
- Coat Banana Slices: Place the banana rounds in a large bowl and pour the cinnamon-oil mixture over them, then gently toss to coat all slices evenly.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Spread the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap to allow proper air circulation and crisping.
- Air Fry the Chips: Cook at 300°F for 25-28 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides become golden and crispy.
- Cool the Chips: After air frying, remove the banana chips and let them cool for 5-10 minutes to firm up their crisp texture.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately for the best crunch, or store the cooled chips in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Notes
- Using green or slightly yellow bananas provides the best texture for crispy chips as riper bananas tend to be softer and less firm.
- Feel free to adjust the cinnamon quantity to your taste preference.
- Make sure banana slices are evenly spaced in the air fryer to prevent steaming and promote even crisping.
- Store chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
