Equipment
- air fryer
- wire rack
Ingredients
- 3 Large Firm Bananas (slightly underripe)
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil, melted
- 1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Choose bananas that are still slightly green or just barely yellow - they should feel firm when squeezed. Overripe bananas will be too soft and will not crisp properly. Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds about 1/8 inch thick, keeping the slices as uniform as possible.
- Place the banana slices in a bowl. Add the lemon juice and melted coconut oil and toss gently until every slice is lightly coated. The lemon juice helps prevent browning and adds a subtle tang.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F for 2 minutes.
- Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. You will need to work in several batches.
- Air fry at 350 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through. Keep a close eye on them during the last 2 minutes as they can go from golden to burned quickly.
- Remove the chips and immediately sprinkle them with the sea salt and cinnamon, if using. The chips will continue to crisp as they cool. Let them cool completely on a wire rack for maximum crunch. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
