Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 3 medium Bananas (Opt for firm, slightly green bananas for optimal crispiness.)
- 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil (Can be substituted with any neutral oil if necessary.)
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture (Feel free to substitute regular sugar with coconut sugar for a healthier touch.)
Instructions
- Peel and Slice Bananas: Start by peeling your bananas and slicing them uniformly into about ¼ inch thick pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: In a bowl, combine the avocado oil and cinnamon-sugar mixture, stirring well to create a smooth and evenly blended coating.
- Coat Banana Slices: Gently toss the banana slices in the oil and cinnamon-sugar blend until they are fully and evenly coated.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F to prepare for crisping the banana slices properly.
- Arrange Banana Slices: Place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlaps to ensure crispiness.
- Air Fry: Cook the banana slices in the air fryer for 25-28 minutes, checking for a golden brown and crispy texture.
- Cool: Once cooked, transfer the chips to a wire rack and let them cool for 5-10 minutes to enhance crispiness before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use firm, slightly green bananas to prevent mushiness and achieve maximum crispiness.
- You can substitute coconut sugar for regular sugar in the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a healthier alternative.
- Make sure to slice bananas evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Allow chips to cool completely to crisp up fully before storing or eating.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispiness.
