Scale
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 your air fryer to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to run for 5 minutes to reach the desired temperature for perfect crisping.
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into ¼ inch thick pieces. Place these banana slices in a large mixing bowl to prepare for seasoning.
- Mix Cinnamon Oil: In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and your choice of oil, either avocado or olive oil, mixing thoroughly to blend the flavors.
- Coat Bananas: Pour the cinnamon-oil mixture over the banana slices and gently toss them to ensure each slice is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Air Fry: Arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook them at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 28 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to achieve even crispness on both sides.
- Cool: Carefully remove the banana chips from the air fryer and allow them to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting time helps the chips become crispier and enhances their texture.
Notes
- Use green or slightly yellow bananas that are firm for the best crispy texture, as ripe bananas will be too soft and sweet.
- Flip the banana chips halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping and prevent burning.
- Letting the chips cool is essential for them to reach their optimal crispiness.
- You can substitute the cinnamon with other spices like nutmeg or chili powder for different flavors.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crispy.
