Banana chips are one of those snacks that you just keep munching on. The crispy and a bit of salt make it nostalgic. It is a healthy treat, and making it in an air fryer makes it healthier. These 7 tips will help you make the perfect banana chips in the air fryer.
For the best results, go with green, unripe bananas as they hold their shape and have a really nice crunch.
Thin, even slices are a must if you want perfect crunch in every single bite. Your chips will cook evenly and taste so much better
Just a few minutes in salt water does the trick; it stops them from going brown and brings out all that flavour without any extra oil.
Just a light brush or spray will do, enough to let the seasoning stick and help the chips get nice and crispy.
Cranking the heat up right from the start helps the chips crisp up fast and stops them from getting soggy.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer, or you will trap all that steam in there and end up with soggy chips. Cook them in batches for the best results.
Turning the slices halfway through cooking is the way to get that perfect golden colour and the crunch.
