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°F (150°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into ¼ inch thick slices. Place the banana slices in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Cinnamon Oil: In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon with the avocado or olive oil until well mixed.
- Coat Bananas: Pour the cinnamon oil mixture over the banana slices and gently toss to evenly coat each slice without breaking them.
- Air Fry: Arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 300°F (150°C) for 25-28 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
- Cool: Once cooked, remove the banana chips from the air fryer basket and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes. This cooling step helps the chips become crispier.
Notes
- Use green or slightly yellow bananas for the best chip texture; ripe bananas will be too soft.
- Flip the banana chips gently halfway through cooking to prevent breaking.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to keep them crispy.
- Feel free to experiment with other spices like nutmeg or a pinch of salt for variety.
- If your air fryer is small, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
