Air Fryer Dehydrated Banana

But what if you could enjoy this tasty treat guilt-free? That’s where Air Fryer Dehydrated Banana Chips come in. They are easy to make, delicious, and much healthier than the store-bought version. Plus, they take just 50 minutes at 210°C in the air fryer!

Air Fryer Dehydrated Banana
Ingredients


  • 3 ripe bananas
  • Spray oil
  • Lemon juice (optional)
  • A pinch of sea salt


Instructions
Spraying the banana with oil
  1. Begin by peeling your bananas and slicing them into thin, even rounds. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips will be.
  2. If you want to prevent browning, you can toss the banana slices in a bit of lemon juice. This step is optional but recommended for a brighter final product.
  3. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they’re not overlapping to ensure even cooking. Spray with spray oil.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 210°C. Then, place the basket in the air fryer and set the timer for 50 minutes.
  5. Halfway through the cooking time, open the air fryer and shake the basket gently to turn the banana chips. This promotes even dehydration.
  6. Once the chips are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool completely. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt before serving, if desired.


Recipe Tips & Substitutions


  • The ripeness of your bananas will affect the sweetness of your chips. For sweeter chips, use bananas that are fully ripe or even slightly overripe.
  • You can add additional flavors to your banana chips. Consider sprinkling them with cinnamon or drizzling them with a little honey before air frying.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can make these chips in a conventional oven, although the cooking time will be longer.
