Banana Chips Ingredients
- 2 bananas, green or yellow (not ripe)
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil or olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 5 minutes to ensure an even cooking temperature.
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into ¼ inch thick rounds. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Cinnamon Oil: In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon with your choice of avocado or olive oil, mixing well to create the coating.
- Coat Bananas: Pour the cinnamon and oil mixture over the banana slices, gently tossing to evenly coat each slice without breaking them.
- Air Fry: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 25-28 minutes at 300 degrees F, flipping the slices halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Cool: Remove the banana chips from the air fryer and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes. Cooling helps them crisp up to the perfect texture.
Notes
- Use green or just slightly yellow bananas for better crispiness; fully ripe bananas tend to be too soft.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a tiny bit of salt or chili powder along with cinnamon.
- Ensure banana slices are evenly spaced in the air fryer to prevent steaming and promote crisping.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer model and banana thickness.
