Notes

  • Extra Cooking Time: The banana chips will become crispier as they cool. If you find the chips are chewy, then cook them in the air fryer for an additional ten minutes.
  • Crispy Results: Make sure to use firm bananas for this recipe for best results. We used Lady Finger bananas and they worked well.
  • Slow Cooking: Cooking on low heat will prevent the banana chips from getting burnt.
  • Thin Slices: Be sure to thinly slice the bananas.
  • Optional: The salt is optional; however, it does enhance the sweetness of the bananas.
  • Balanced Cooking: Preheating the air fryer ensures even cooking.
  • Enjoy Immediately: For best results, enjoy the banana chips immediately as they will lose their crisp over time.
  • Model: Cooking times will vary on make and model of air fryer used.
