Air Fryer Banana Chips

Craving a sweet and satisfying snack without the guilt? Look no further than the humble banana and your trusty air fryer!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 firm bananas We used Lady Finger bananas and they worked well
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • spray oil
  • salt just a pinch

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius while preparing the bananas. Next, slice the bananas into thin slices.
  • In a small bowl, coat the banana slices with lemon juice and sprinkle lightly with salt. Spray the banana slices with oil. Flip the slices and repeat.
  • Place the banana slices in a single layer on the base of an air fryer basket. Place the basket into the air fryer and cook the air fryer banana chips for 40 minutes.
  • Check halfway through the cooking time and loosen the bananas from the base of the basket if needed. Continue to cook.
  • Finally, remove the chips from the air fryer and place on a cooling rack. Repeat the cooking process with the rest of the bananas slices.

Notes

Extra Cooking Time: The banana chips will become crispier as they cool. If you find the chips are chewy, then cook them in the air fryer for an additional ten minutes. Crispy Results: Make sure to use firm bananas for this recipe for best results. We used Lady Finger bananas and they worked well. Slow Cooking: Cooking on low heat will prevent the banana chips from getting burnt. Thin Slices: Be sure to thinly slice the bananas. Optional: The salt is optional; however, it does enhance the sweetness of the bananas. Balanced Cooking: Preheating the air fryer ensures even cooking. Enjoy Immediately: For best results, enjoy the banana chips immediately as they will lose their crisp over time. Model: Cooking times will vary on make and model of air fryer used.
