Description

Crispy, sweet, and lightly spiced air fryer banana chips that are easy to make and perfect for a healthy snack. These homemade chips are thinly sliced bananas seasoned with cinnamon and a hint of salt, dehydrated and cooked to perfection using an air fryer, resulting in a crunchy treat without any added preservatives or artificial flavors.

Ingredients

Banana Chips Ingredients

  • 1 medium banana
  • 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking oil spray

Instructions

  1. Slice Bananas: Cut the banana into 1/8 to 1/4 inch (0.3-0.6 cm) thick thin slices. Make sure slices are uniform for even cooking.
  2. Sprinkle Lemon Juice: If using, sprinkle half of the lemon juice over the banana slices, flip them over and sprinkle with the remaining lemon juice. This helps prevent browning and adds a subtle tang.
  3. Mist Basket and Arrange Slices: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray. Place the banana slices in a single layer in the basket, working in batches if necessary to avoid overlapping. Spray the banana slices with cooking spray for crispiness.
  4. Season the Slices: Sprinkle the banana slices evenly with ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
  5. Air Fry: Cook the banana slices in the air fryer at 350°F (177°C) for 10-12 minutes. Use the top rack if your air fryer has multiple racks. Monitor carefully as slices on the edge brown faster; remove those as they become crispy.
  6. Cool and Crisp: Let the chips cool completely—they will firm up as they cool. If they are not crispy enough, flip them over and air fry for an additional 2-4 minutes at 350°F (177°C).
  7. Enjoy: Serve once fully crisped and cooled. These banana chips make a delicious, healthy snack anytime.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to get evenly thin banana slices for best results.
  • Optional lemon juice prevents browning and preserves color but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; watch closely towards the end to prevent burning.
  • Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain crispiness for up to 3 days.
  • For a sweeter touch, you can sprinkle a little sugar or drizzle honey after cooking, though this will increase calories.
