Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 ripe green bananas (firm, less sweet than yellow bananas)
  • 1–2 tablespoons oil of choice (coconut or olive oil recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Optional Seasonings for Variations

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon brown sugar (for Sweet Cinnamon Sugar)
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder and juice of 1/2 lime (for Spicy Chili Lime)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary (for Garlic Herb)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (for Vegan Salt and Vinegar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for Turmeric and Black Pepper)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas: Peel the ripe green bananas and slice them evenly using a mandoline or a sharp knife to about 1/8 inch thickness to ensure the chips will be crispy.
  2. Soak and Rinse: Place the banana slices in a bowl of cold water with a dash of lemon juice and soak for 10 minutes to prevent browning and reduce excess starch. Then drain and pat the slices thoroughly dry.
  3. Season and Oil: Transfer the dried banana slices to a mixing bowl, drizzle lightly with your chosen oil, sprinkle the salt and any optional seasonings you prefer. Toss gently to coat all slices evenly.
  4. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Lay the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring no overlap so each chip crisps evenly.
  5. Air Fry for Crispness: Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 12 to 15 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to promote even browning and perfectly crispy edges.
  6. Cool and Store: Remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain crispness.

Notes

  • Slice bananas uniformly to ensure even cooking and crispy texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to avoid soggy chips.
  • Check the chips early as air fryer models and power vary; avoid burning.
  • Use perforated parchment paper in the basket to reduce sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Cool chips completely on a wire rack to keep them crispy.
