Air Fryer Dehydrated Banana Chips
Banana chips are a popular snack choice for many, providing a sweet crunch that’s hard to resist. Traditionally, these chips are deep-fried, making them not the healthiest option.
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!
- 3 ripe bananas
- Spray oil
- Lemon juice (optional)
- A pinch of sea salt
- Begin by peeling your bananas and slicing them into thin, even rounds. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips will be.
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat your air fryer to 210°C. Then, place the basket in the air fryer and set the timer for 50 minutes.
- Halfway through the cooking time, open the air fryer and shake the basket gently to turn the banana chips. This promotes even dehydration.
- 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.
- 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.
