What you need to make these air fryer banana chips

You only need unripened green bananas. Feel free to substitute green plantains.

green bananas and green plantains are a great source of resistant starch

How to make these savory banana chips

Slice off the stem of the banana. Carefully peel about halfway, giving you a better grip on the banana. Use the slicer side of a box grater to cut into chips. When you reach the halfway point, continue to peel back the banana, leaving a small amount to maintain a grip as you continue to slice.

Spread chips into the basket of the air fryer. Set for 380 F (195 C) and cook for 8 minutes. Check for doneness and continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes or until toasty golden and crispy.

Enjoy these banana chips immediately, or store them in an air-tight container for up to a week. They will lose their crispness as they sit. However, you can throw them back into the air fryer for 2 to 3 to re-crisp. These are also freezer-friendly if you're batching these for meal prep.

Ways to serve these chips

There are several options to flavor these yummy, healthy chips. You can sprinkle them with some everything bagel seasoning, harissa or chipotle powder before you put them into the air fryer.

I prefer to eat these savory banana chips dipped in oil-free hummus sprinkled with harissa and topped with fresh chopped parsley. Yummmm!
