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 the air fryer to 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into ¼ inch thick pieces. Place all the banana slices into a large bowl for seasoning.
- Mix Cinnamon Oil: In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon with the avocado or olive oil, mixing well to create a flavorful coating.
- Coat Bananas: Pour the cinnamon-infused oil over the banana slices, gently tossing to coat each slice evenly without breaking them.
- Air Fry: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook them at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-28 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Cool: Once cooked, remove the banana chips from the air fryer and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes. This step helps the chips crisp up to the perfect texture.
Notes
- Use green or yellow bananas for the best crisp texture; ripe bananas are too soft.
- Flip the banana slices halfway during air frying for even cooking.
- Cool completely before storing to maintain crispness.
- Store banana chips in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh.
- You can adjust cinnamon amount according to preference or omit it for plain chips.
