Dehydrating Banana Chips Recipe
When prepared in the air fryer, homemade banana chips are a guilt-free, healthy, low-calorie snack made with simple ingredients. In this post, you’ll learn how to dehydrate bananas in an air fryer.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 large bananas
- 1-2 teaspoons salt
- cold water
- vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add cold water and salt. Whisk until the salt is completely dissolved.
- Peel the bananas, and cut them into about 1/8-inch slices.
- Place the sliced bananas into the salt water. Soak for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the banana slices with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels. Dry them completely.
- Brush the banana slices with oil.
- Place the banana slices into the air fryer basket in one single layer. Brush them with olive oil one more time. Cook in batches if needed.
- Cook at 300°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Flip chips after 15 minutes.
- Remove from the air fryer and allow them to cool down completely before storing.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas, avoiding mushy or bruised ones.
- If you prefer crispier and crunchier banana chips, cut your banana slightly thinner.
- Soaking the sliced bananas with salt water prevents the chips from turning brown. You can skip this step if you don’t mind the brown look of your chips.
- They’ll become crispier as they cool down.
- Store banana chips in an air-tight container, and they’ll last up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
