FAQs
Any non-stick cooking spray will work. We used avocado oil.
Toss banana slices with pineapple or orange juice – the fruit juice helps the chips from browning. Drain. Place bananas in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking pan. Bake at 250° F for 2 hours.
Sure can! Adding different flavor combinations is an another way to keep snack time interesting. Try sprinkling with peanut butter powder, tossing in cinnamon and sugar or mixing with lime juice and chili powder.
Once air fried or baked, store in an airtight container. You can also separate the batch into portions and store in ziplock or stasher bags. As kids build their lunchboxes in the morning, they can easily add a bag of banana chips.
