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 your air fryer to 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes to ensure an even cooking temperature.
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into ¼ inch thick pieces. Place all the banana slices in a large mixing bowl, ready for seasoning.
- Mix Cinnamon Oil: In a small bowl, combine the 2 teaspoons of avocado or olive oil with ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon to create a flavorful coating.
- Coat Bananas: Pour the cinnamon oil mixture over the sliced bananas and gently toss to ensure each slice is evenly coated.
- Air Fry: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to promote even crisping. Cook at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-28 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to cook both sides evenly.
- Cool: Once done, remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let them cool for 5-10 minutes. This allows them to crisp up fully before serving.
Notes
- Use green or yellow bananas for best texture; ripe bananas will be too soft to crisp properly.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook the banana slices in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure uniform crisping.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer model and banana thickness for optimal results.
