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 Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Slice Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them into ¼-inch thick round slices, which allows them to cook evenly and become crispy.
- Prepare Cinnamon Oil: In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon with the avocado or olive oil until fully combined to coat the banana slices with flavor.
- Coat Banana Slices: Place the banana slices in a large bowl and pour the cinnamon-oil mixture on them. Gently toss to ensure all slices are evenly coated without breaking.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Lay the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure slices do not overlap for proper air circulation and crisping.
- Air Fry the Chips: Cook at 300°F (150°C) for 25-28 minutes, flipping the banana slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure uniform crispiness.
- Cool the Chips: Once golden and crisp, carefully remove the banana chips and let them cool on a rack or plate for 5-10 minutes; this step helps firm up the texture.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the banana chips immediately as a snack, or store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispness for later use.
Notes
- Use green or slightly yellow bananas to ensure firmness and crispiness; ripe bananas tend to be too soft and may not crisp well.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity according to your preference for sweetness and spice.
- Store banana chips in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them crunchy.
- Flipping the slices halfway is crucial for even cooking and browning.
- Can be used as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or salads for added texture and flavor.
