Scale
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 your air fryer to 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes to ensure it is at the perfect temperature for crisping the banana slices evenly.
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the green or slightly yellow bananas and slice them into ¼ inch thick rounds. Place the banana slices in a large mixing bowl to prepare for seasoning.
- Mix Cinnamon Oil: In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of avocado oil (or olive oil) with ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir well to blend the flavors thoroughly.
- Coat Bananas: Pour the cinnamon oil mixture over the banana slices and gently toss them to ensure every slice is evenly coated without breaking.
- Air Fry: Lay the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 28 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time to achieve an even crisp.
- Cool: Remove the banana chips from the air fryer and allow them to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. This cooling step helps the chips to crisp up perfectly before serving.
Notes
- Use green or slightly yellow bananas as ripe bananas will be too soft and won’t crisp well.
- Flipping the banana slices halfway during cooking ensures even crispiness on both sides.
- Store cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.
- You can substitute cinnamon with other spices like nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice for variety.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your air fryer model and banana slice thickness.
