Method

  1. 1

    Prep and Season

    Slice the ends off the green bananas, score the skin lengthwise, and peel. Rub a little oil on your hands to prevent sticky residue from clinging to your fingers.

  2. 2

    Slice the bananas thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, toss the sliced bananas thoroughly with 1½ tbsp oil and salt to taste until evenly coated.

Ivana Sanshia’s note

Using a mandoline ensures paper-thin, uniform slices so every chip cooks at the exact same rate.

Don't skip letting them cool for 2–3 minutes after air frying—this is when the final moisture evaporates and they reach peak crunch!
