Pro Tips for Success

• Ensure your banana slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
• Keep an eye on the chips towards the end of the cooking time; they can go from golden to burnt quickly!
• If you like a deeper flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of vanilla extract to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Storage & Reheating

To keep your banana chips fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Just remember, they are best enjoyed fresh, so I recommend making only what you’ll eat in a day or two. If you have leftovers that you want to reheat, pop them back in the air fryer for about 2-3 minutes to regain that crispy texture.
