Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 bananas (green or yellow, not ripe)
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes to ensure an even cooking temperature.
- Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Place the banana slices in a large mixing bowl.
- Prepare Cinnamon Oil: In a small bowl, combine the avocado oil (or olive oil) with the ground cinnamon until well mixed.
- Coat Banana Slices: Pour the cinnamon oil mixture over the banana slices and gently toss them to make sure each slice is evenly coated.
- Air Fry the Banana Chips: Arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in two batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 28 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp evenly.
- Cool and Crisp: Once cooked, remove the banana chips from the basket and let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes. This cooling step helps the chips crisp up to the perfect texture.
Notes
- Use green or yellow bananas as ripe bananas contain more sugar and may not crisp as well.
- Make sure to slice the bananas evenly at 1/4 inch thickness for uniform cooking.
- If you prefer sweeter chips, consider sprinkling a little sugar or using ripe bananas, but be aware they may be less crispy.
- Store leftover banana chips in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer model and banana thickness.
