Description
Air Fryer Banana Chips are a light, crispy, and naturally sweet snack that’s incredibly easy to make. They’re made with just ripe bananas and a few optional seasonings, giving you a healthy alternative to store-bought chips. Perfect for snacking, topping smoothie bowls, or packing into lunchboxes.
Ingredients
2 medium ripe bananas
1 teaspoon coconut oil or avocado oil (optional)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
1. Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
2. Place banana slices in a bowl and toss gently with oil, sea salt, cinnamon, or lemon juice if using.
3. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
4. Arrange banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray.
5. Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Begin checking at 8 minutes to avoid burning.
6. Remove chips and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
7. Store in an airtight container once fully cooled.
Notes
Use ripe but firm bananas for the best results.
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping.
Optional spices and lemon juice can enhance flavor and prevent browning.
