Step-by-step overview
Making Air Fryer Banana Chips is incredibly straightforward. Start by peeling and slicing your ripe bananas thinly. If you’d like to add a little more flavor, toss the slices lightly with cooking oil and salt. This enhances the taste and helps achieve that crispy texture. Once your air fryer is preheated, it’s simply a matter of arranging the banana slices and letting the magic happen. You’ll have deliciously crunchy banana chips in just about 10-12 minutes!
What you’ll need
Gather these items to get started on your banana chip adventure:
- Ripe bananas (the more spots, the sweeter they are!)
- Cooking oil (optional for added flavor)
- Salt (optional, to enhance the sweetness)
Feel free to skip the oil and salt if you prefer a pure banana flavor. For a fun twist, try experimenting with spices or alternate flavorings!
