Crispy Banana Chips (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Banana Chips Base
01 -
2 bananas (green or yellow, but not fully ripe)
02 -
2 teaspoons avocado oil or olive oil
03 -
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
# Instructions:
01 -
Get your air fryer nice and hot by preheating it for 5 minutes at 300°F (150°C).
02 -
Peel those bananas and slice them about ¼ inch thick. Try to keep the slices even so they'll cook uniformly. Toss all your banana slices into a big mixing bowl.
03 -
Grab a small bowl and mix your oil with the cinnamon until well combined. This helps the cinnamon distribute evenly on your chips - trust me, it makes a difference!
04 -
Pour your cinnamon-oil mixture over the banana slices and gently toss everything together until each slice has a light coating. Be careful not to break the slices!
05 -
Arrange your banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket - don't overlap them! You'll probably need to cook in 2 batches. Air fry for 25-28 minutes at 300°F (150°C), flipping the chips halfway through.
06 -
Once done, take the chips out and let them cool on a plate for 5-10 minutes. This resting period is crucial as it allows them to crisp up even more!
# Notes:
01 -
Cooking time varies depending on the thickness of your banana slices and your specific air fryer model. Thinner slices will cook faster, so keep an eye on them!
02 -
Always mix the cinnamon with oil first rather than sprinkling it directly on the bananas - this ensures even distribution of flavor.
03 -
These chips make a delicious, healthier alternative to store-bought banana chips which are often deep-fried.
