Ingredients
- 2 pieces raw green bananas
- 2 cups water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- a light spray oil
Instructions
- 1Peel the green bananas and slice them into uniform thin rounds, about 2 mm thick, using a mandoline or a sharp knife.
- 2Place the banana slices in a large bowl and cover them with 2 cups of cold water.
- 3Add 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp turmeric powder to the water, stirring until dissolved, then let the slices soak for 3–5 minutes to remove excess starch and infuse flavor.
- 4While the bananas are soaking, pre‑heat the air fryer to 356°F (350°F) for 3 minutes.
- 5Drain the banana slices in a colander and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels; moisture will prevent crisping.
- 6Transfer the dried slices to a large mixing bowl and give them a light spray of oil, just enough to coat each piece without making them greasy.
- 7Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap; you may need to work in batches.
- 8Air fry the first batch at 356°F for 5 minutes, then open the basket, shake gently to turn the slices, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until they turn golden brown and are crisp throughout.
- 9Check the chips for doneness; if any pieces need extra crispness, add 1–2 more minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- 10Remove the finished banana chips and place them on a cooling rack for 2 minutes; they will continue to crisp as they cool.
- 11Repeat the process with the remaining slices, spraying a little more oil if needed for each new batch.
- 12Once all chips are cooled, transfer them to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- 13Serve the crispy banana chips as a snack on their own or with a dip of your choice.
