🍌 Air Fryer 2-Ingredient Banana Chips
Crispy, naturally sweet, and ridiculously easy—these banana chips are a clean snack made with just fruit and a touch of citrus to keep them from browning. No deep frying, no added sugar, just crunchy goodness straight from the air fryer.
🛒 Ingredients
- 2 firm bananas (slightly underripe works best)
- 1–2 tsp lemon juice
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
- Slice bananas into thin, even rounds (about ⅛ inch thick).
- Toss lightly with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Arrange slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket (don’t overlap).
- Air fry for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through:
- Check early—thinner slices cook faster.
- Cool completely—they crisp up more as they cool.
🔥 Tips for Perfect Chips
- Use firm bananas—ripe ones turn soft instead of crispy.
- Slice evenly for consistent cooking.
- If they’re still soft, air fry 2–3 more minutes.
- Don’t overcrowd—work in batches if needed.

Yes, but the chips may brown more. Flavor won’t change much.
Q: How do I store them?
Keep in an airtight container at room temp for 2–3 days.
Q: Can I add seasoning?
Sure—try cinnamon, a pinch of salt, or even chili powder for a kick.
