Ingredients
Banana Chips
- 2 bananas (green or yellow, not ripe)
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure even cooking.
- Slice Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4 inch thick slices. Place the banana slices in a large bowl for coating.
- Mix Cinnamon Oil: In a small bowl, combine the avocado oil and ground cinnamon, mixing thoroughly to create a flavorful coating.
- Coat Bananas: Pour the cinnamon oil mixture over the banana slices and gently toss to evenly coat each slice without breaking them.
- Air Fry Banana Chips: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in two batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-28 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to ensure crispness and even cooking.
- Cool and Crisp: Remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let them cool for 5-10 minutes. This resting period helps the chips firm up and become crisp.
Notes
- For best results, use green or yellow (not ripe) bananas to ensure crispiness and prevent sogginess.
- You can substitute avocado oil with olive oil or any neutral oil if preferred.
- Store the cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispness.
- If you prefer, add a pinch of salt or a sprinkle of sugar for added flavor.
- Flip the banana slices carefully halfway through cooking to avoid breaking delicate chips.
