Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 firm bananas yellow with little to no brown spots
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • Spray avocado oil

Instructions

  • Peel bananas and slice them into very thin, even rounds, keeping slices as uniform as possible so they cook evenly.
  • Place banana slices in a bowl and gently toss with lemon juice to prevent browning and help them dry evenly as they cook.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over banana slices and toss gently to coat all slices lightly and evenly.
  • Preheat air fryer to 300℉ for 3-5 minutes and spray basket lightly with avocado oil.
  • Arrange banana slices in a single layer in air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. Add a light spray of oil across banana slices.
  • Air fry at 300℉ for 12 minutes. Flip banana slices, then continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes until slices look dry and lightly golden.
  • Remove banana chips from air fryer and transfer to a cooling rack, and let them cool completely.
  • Once fully cooled, serve or store.

Notes

  • Allow banana chips to cool completely before storing to maintain their crunch. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days.
  • Choose firm bananas that are slightly green or light yellow.
  • Slice the bananas very thinly and evenly with a mandolin slicer or by hand.
  • Avoid thick slices, which will turn out chewy instead of crisp.
  • Arrange the slices in a single layer with no overlapping so the heat can circulate evenly.
  • Cook in batches if needed to prevent overcrowding,
  • Remove the chips when they are dry and lightly golden, not dark brown.
  • The chips may feel slightly soft after cooking, but will continue to crisp as they cool.
