Banana Chips Ingredients
- 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 temperature.
- Slice the bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them into ¼-inch thick round slices to ensure uniform crisping.
- Prepare the cinnamon-oil mixture: In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and avocado or olive oil until well mixed.
- Coat the banana slices: Place the banana slices into a large bowl, pour the cinnamon-oil mixture over them, and gently toss to ensure every slice is evenly coated.
- Arrange in air fryer basket: Spread the banana slices out in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap to allow proper air circulation.
- Air fry the banana chips: Cook the slices at 300°F for 25-28 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to achieve an even, golden crispiness.
- Cool and crisp: When done, remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let them cool for 5-10 minutes to firm up and become crunchy.
- Serve or store: Enjoy the banana chips immediately for the best texture or preserve them in an airtight container for later snacking.
Notes
- Use green or slightly yellow bananas as riper bananas may not crisp well and can become mushy.
- Flipping the banana slices halfway during air frying is crucial for even crispness.
- Store leftover banana chips in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness.
- You can substitute avocado oil with olive oil or another neutral oil of your choice.
- Experiment with additional spices like nutmeg or a pinch of salt for varied flavor.
