A Healthy Snack Option
These Air Fryer Banana Chips are a healthy, crunchy snack you will love to eat and feel good giving your kids, too.
Air fryer banana chips are naturally gluten-free and vegan. You can feel good about snacking on these homemade chips with all-natural ingredients and fewer calories than store-bought options.
These are naturally sweet, dusted with kosher salt, and air-fried with a small amount of oil so they come out crispy, crunchy, and irresistible.
What You’ll Need
- Bananas – You’ll need two bananas that are just barely ripe. Try to find ones that are just starting to brown for the best flavor and texture
- Avocado Oil – You could use olive oil or another neutral oil instead.
- Kosher Salt – A nice flaky salt gives these chips their perfectly salty flavor.
- Seasonings – I keep it simple with this air fryer banana chip recipe, but there are many seasonings you could add for a sweeter, saltier, or more savory version.
How to Make These Banana Chips
- Slice the bananas into 1/4-inch slices.
- Put the banana slices in a bowl and cover them with olive oil. Mix until combined.
- Place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer and sprinkle them with kosher salt. . Work in batches if needed since overcrowding will result in soggy banana chips.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes at 350F. Flip halfway through, until bananas are lightly browned and crispy.

Notes
- You want to choose bananas that are just barely ripened. If they are too ripe, they will be difficult to cut into even slices. If you prefer, you can also use unripe, green bananas.
- The trick to getting crispy banana chips is to slice the bananas very thin. It also helps if they are very uniformly cut. If they are the same size you won’t have to worry about the bananas cooking in different amounts of time.
- Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the “Air Fry” function.
