Air-Fried Banana Chips are a delightful and wholesome snack that offers a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried banana chips. Made from ripe bananas and a touch of flavor, these chips are air-fried to crispy perfection, providing a satisfying combination of sweetness and crunch. These banana chips are an excellent choice for a guilt-free snack or a topping for desserts and cereals, and they are quick and easy to prepare using an air fryer.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
- Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds. To prevent browning, you can lightly toss the banana slices in lemon juice, although this step is optional.
- Place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Air fry the banana slices for about 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Continue air frying until they become golden and crispy.
- Keep a close eye on the banana chips during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent over-browning or burning.
- Once the Air-Fried Banana Chips are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Serve the banana chips as a delightful snack or use them as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or desserts.
TIPS
- Adjust the thickness of the banana slices to your preference, but ensure they are even for consistent cooking.
- Experiment with different flavorings by sprinkling a pinch of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey over the banana slices before air frying.
- Store any leftover banana chips in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
