Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)
  • Cooking spray (optional)

Method

  2. In a bowl, toss the banana slices with lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 160°C (320°F) for 3 minutes.
  4. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with cooking spray if desired for extra crispiness.
  5. Cook in the air fryer at 160°C (320°F) for 10-15 minutes, checking halfway and flipping the chips for even cooking.
  6. Once golden and crispy, remove from the air fryer and let cool before serving.

Pro tips for maximum crisp

  • Ensure banana slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
  • Store cooled chips in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
  • Experiment with spices like nutmeg or cayenne for a flavor twist!
