Crispy homemade Healthy sweet Plantain chips / Banana chips made out of raw bananas that are healthier, made with no or very little coconut oil in the air fryer. Vegan and gluten-free snacks.
I used my Instant Vortex Plus 6 Quart Air Fryer for this recipe. I love this because you can get the food in a single layer all at once, and dinner is ready in 30 minutes or less. Any air fryer brand like Cosori 5.8QT, Cuisinart Air Fryer Oven, Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Duo Crisp works here.
Ingredients for Homemade Plantain Chips
- Plantains/Raw Banana – Choose green plantains to make these chips. If you can't find them, you can also use raw green bananas.
- Coconut Oil – Traditionally, Banana chips are deep-fried in coconut oil in India. I have used cold-pressed coconut oil today. You can also use any cooking oil of your choice.
- Spices – I have used only turmeric powder.
How to Make Banana Chips in Air Fryer
Cut the ends of the plantain and peel the skin.
In a medium bowl, combine 4 cups of water, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well. Place the peeled banana and let it soak for at least 10 minutes.
Pat dry the banana using a paper towel and slice the bananas using a mandolin slicer.
In a medium bowl, add some coconut oil and turmeric. Mix well. Then, place the sliced bananas and toss until fully coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (176°C). Place the sliced raw bananas in the air fryer basket and spread them in a single layer (cook in batches if required).
Air fryer them at 350°F (176°C) for 10 minutes or until they are crispy and done. You may want to air fry for an additional 3-4 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through.
Once done, sprinkle some salt and Enjoy or place the banana chips in an air-tight container.
Pro-Tips & Notes
- Dry the soaked banana thoroughly and then slice them before air frying else, the water can steam the chips while air frying.
- Work in batches. Make sure to spread the sliced banana in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each other. Cook in batches if needed.
- Shake the basket halfway: It's important to shake the basket halfway through to allow the beets to be cooked evenly.
- The exact cooking time will vary based on the air fryer being used
