What You’ll Need for Perfect Air Frying Banana Chips

Essential Ingredients for Crispy Banana Chips

  • 2 underripe bananas
  • Coconut oil spray
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Dipping Sauce

A sweet and creamy yogurt dip complements the crunch of the banana chips and adds a delightful flavour contrast. Simply mix some plain yogurt with a touch of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

How to Choose the Right Bananas

Choose underripe bananas for air frying, as they are firm and less likely to become mushy. This results in crispy banana crisps that hold their shape well. With a slight tartness, underripe bananas also provide a lovely contrast to the sweet cinnamon flavour.

Steps to Make Air Fryer Banana Chips

Making banana chips in the air fryer is quick and simple.

  1. Peel and thinly slice the bananas.
  2. Spray banana slices with coconut oil and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  3. Lay slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  4. Air fry at 160°C for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Allow to cool before serving.

Avoid Overcrowding

To ensure crispiness, always arrange the banana slices in a single layer with space between them for air circulation during frying.
Sliced bananas evenly spread in an air fryer basket before cooking.
