Air Fryer Banana Chips (Printable Recipe)

Thin banana slices air fried to crisp perfection, lightly tossed with oil and warm cinnamon for extra flavor.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

01 - 2 green or yellow bananas, firm and not overripe

02 - 2 teaspoons avocado oil or olive oil

03 - 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon

01 - Preheat the air fryer to 150°C for 5 minutes.

02 - Slice the bananas into 0.6 cm thick rounds. Ensure uniform thickness for even dehydration.

03 - In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil and ground cinnamon until fully combined.

04 - Pour the cinnamon oil mixture over the banana slices. Gently toss with a rubber spatula so all pieces are evenly coated.

05 - Place the coated banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if needed to avoid overlapping slices.

06 - Air fry at 150°C for 25–28 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through cooking for even dehydration.

07 - Remove banana chips from the air fryer and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool for 5–10 minutes to allow maximum crispness before serving.

01 - For optimal texture, select green or yellow bananas as they hold their shape during air frying.

02 - Mixing cinnamon with oil ensures even distribution and prevents clumping on the banana slices.

03 - Cooking times may vary based on slice thickness and air fryer model; thinner slices crisp faster but are more delicate to handle.

04 - For savory chips, omit cinnamon and sprinkle with sea salt before air frying.

05 - Banana chips improve in crispness as they cool; do not serve immediately out of the air fryer.
