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 an even cooking temperature.
- Prepare Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into ¼ inch thick pieces. Place all banana slices into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Cinnamon Oil: In a separate small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon with the avocado oil or olive oil, mixing well to evenly distribute the cinnamon in the oil.
- Coat Bananas: Pour the cinnamon-infused oil over the banana slices and gently toss them in the bowl until each slice is thoroughly coated with the mixture.
- Air Fry: Arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 28 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure crispiness on both sides.
- Cool: Remove the banana chips from the air fryer basket and let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Cooling allows the chips to crisp up further before serving.
Notes
- Use green or slightly yellow bananas for best crispiness; ripe bananas tend to be too soft and sweet.
- Flip the banana slices halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
- Store completely cooled banana chips in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness.
- You can experiment with other spices like nutmeg or chili powder for a different flavor twist.
- Adjust cooking time depending on the size and thickness of banana slices for optimal crunch.
