Ingredients for Homemade Plantain Chips

  • Plantains/Raw Banana – Choose the 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 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.

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

FAQs

Are air-fried plantain/banana chips healthy?

Yes. These air fryer banana chips are made with very little oil, non-fried, and made without added sugar. These chips also provide magnesium, iron, vitamin A, phosphorus, and potassium in small quantities.

How to keep banana chips crispy?

To keep them crispy, let them cool completely, then store your banana chips, in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. If they are less crispy then air fry again for 1-2 minutes.
