Ingredients
Banana Chips Ingredients
- 2 bananas (green or yellow, not ripe)
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4 inch thick slices. Place the slices in a large bowl for coating.
- Prepare Cinnamon Oil: In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and avocado oil until well combined.
- Coat the Banana Slices: Pour the cinnamon oil over the banana slices and gently mix to coat each slice evenly without breaking them.
- Air Fry the Banana Chips: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You might need to cook them in two batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-28 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
- Cool and Crisp: Remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let them cool for 5-10 minutes. Cooling helps the chips crisp up to perfection.
Notes
- Use green or slightly yellow bananas for a better crisp texture; ripe bananas tend to get mushy.
- If you want sweeter chips, you can add a small amount of sugar or honey to the cinnamon oil mixture.
- Store the banana chips in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
- Flipping the chips halfway during cooking is essential for even crisping.
- Adjust the cooking time slightly depending on how thick your banana slices are.
