Banana chips are thin slices of banana that have undergone a drying process. Banana chips came to us from Latin American countries, where vegetable bananas, or plantains, are widespread. Plantains are called "tropical potatoes" and are used as snacks and hot dishes. This variety does not have the sweetness of dessert bananas, so chips made from its fruits are made not only sweet, but also salty, spicy, and with other flavors.

How to cook Banana chips

Step 1

Cut the bananas into thin slices.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine bananas, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt.

Step 3

Place the bananas on parchment paper.

Step 4

Place the bananas in the oven to bake for 12-15 minutes at 220°C. Then, if there is a convection function, turn it on so that the chips are slightly blown and dry out. If not, leave the bananas in the open air for a couple of hours.

Banana chips - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use plantains instead of bananas for this recipe?

Yes, plantains work well but may require longer baking time due to their starchier texture.

How should I store banana chips to keep them crispy?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Avoid humidity to maintain crispiness.

Can I make these banana chips oil-free?

Absolutely! This recipe is naturally oil-free since the bananas are baked without added fats.

How can I make spicy banana chips?

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the spice mix for a spicy kick.

Can I use an air fryer instead of an oven?

Yes! Air fry at 160°C for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway for even cooking.

Are these banana chips gluten-free?

Yes, the recipe is naturally gluten-free as it contains no wheat or grain-based ingredients.

How thin should I slice the bananas for best results?

Aim for 2-3mm thickness – too thick and they won't crisp properly, too thin may burn easily.

Can I add other spices to the banana chips?

Absolutely! Cardamom, ginger powder, or pumpkin spice blend work wonderfully with bananas.

How do I know when the banana chips are done baking?

They're ready when edges curl slightly and chips turn golden. They'll crisp more as they cool.

Can I make a large batch and freeze them?

Freezing isn't recommended as it can make chips soggy. Instead, store at room temperature and make smaller fresh batches.
