They are very easy to make, super similar to how we did the parsnip chips, but this time we will give them a touch of salt when we take them out. You will see how delicious they are, they are really addictive!

To prepare this recipe, not just any banana is worth it, it has to be green male banana, this way it will be firm enough to cut with the mandolin or very thinly sliced ​​with a knife. Even so, you will see in the photo that it is difficult for all the cuts to be perfect because the banana is curved and has thicker and thinner parts (such as the tips).

The ingredients They are very basic: banana, oil and salt. It is important that the oil impregnates both sides of the slices well. I use spray oil but it also works very well brush or directly a splash of oil and mix it very well with your hands so that all the slices are well impregnated.

How to make perfect chips in airfryer?

There are only 3 things that you have to take into account when you want to make crispy chips in an airfryer and that they turn out perfectly:

• Use a mandolin so that you stay super fine cuts If not, you can use a knife very sharp and patience, which can also be done. But the thinner the cut, the crunchier our chips can be afterwards.
• Roll out the slices as far as possible on the air fryer tray so they don't clump together. The more space they have, the better the air will reach them and the better they will brown on both sides.
• Remove every 5 minutes to make sure all the sides of our chips are cooked through. It's as simple as taking out the tray and shaking it. Put back in and leave for another 5 minutes... like this until you see that they are golden and crispy.

Ingredients

• 1 green plantain
• olive oil (it is very useful if it is the spray)
• fine salt

Preparation

1. Peel the banana and cut it into very thin slices with the help of a mandolin or a super sharp knife.

2. We separate the slices well and water them with olive oil (using a spray or a brush). It is important that both sides of the slices are well impregnated with the oil. Salt lightly (later we will add more salt at the end, so at this point, just a pinch of salt, don't go too far!!)

3. We put the air fryer at 150º and spread the slices very well on the tray. It is important that each slice is loose, that is, that they do not pile up on top of each other.

4. Cook for 5 minutes, take out the tray, shake it to remove the plantain chips and put it back in. We cook another 5 minutes and repeat this process of stirring and cooking every 5 minutes until they are to our liking.

   In total it will take approximately 15 minutes.

5. Remove to a tray and place them well extended. Add a little more fine salt, stir carefully so they don't break, and enjoy!
