Ways to Eat Banana Chips other than Snacking

These Banana Chips in the Air Fryer went super quick, but if they last longer then a day then you should try thee other ways to eat banana chips. They are great to add to the top of yogurt, cereal, or ice cream. Perfect for a lunch box snack or to add to a charcuterie board, You can even try dipping them in Hummus, 

What Other Toppings Can I Add?

Classic salt is great for a sweet and salty banana chip, but you can also add other spices to make these all different flavors. Try brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg for an even sweeter banana chip. Or try Paprika, Chili Powder, Chili Lime or even Lemon Pepper to kick up the spicy and sweet combo. 

Tips to Make the Perfect Crispy Banana Chip

These Air Fryer Banana Chips are super easy to make, but here are some tips that make sure you get the perfect batch! If you are looking for an Air Fryer, I love the one I have! I got it from Costco but you can get one on Amazon too. 

  • You want the banana to be just ripe. If they are too ripe or not ripe enough then they will tend to be mushy rather than crispy
  • Preheat the Air fryer completely to 350 degrees before adding the banana slices
  • Be sure to cut the banana slices the same size. This helps them cook all at the same rate so they all get the right amount of crunch. 
  • Place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket
  • Salt from up above rather than close up to the banana. This ensures the bananas have equal coverage of salt. 

Storage Tips

To be honest, these banana chips were gone within an afternoon. So first I suggest making several bananas into air fryer chips. Then if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container with a paper towel. The towel absorbs any extra moisture so the Banana Chips stay nice and crispy!
