Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 small bananas
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Pinch of sea salt
- Pinch of cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Slice Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. Aim for even slices to ensure uniform cooking. Using a mandoline slicer is helpful for consistent thickness.
- Coat Slices: Drizzle the banana slices with coconut oil and lemon juice, just enough to lightly coat them. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and cinnamon powder evenly over the slices to enhance flavor.
- Prepare Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure none overlap to allow even air circulation.
- Air Fry the Chips: Cook the banana slices for 22-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp evenly on both sides.
- Cool and Store: Once cooked to a crispy texture, remove the banana chips and let them cool on a wire rack to firm up fully. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to get the best texture for the chips.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and salt according to your taste preference.
- Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow for even cooking and crispiness.
- For extra crunch, you can extend cooking time by a few minutes while monitoring closely to prevent burning.
- These chips make a great healthy alternative to traditional fried snacks.
