Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 plantains
- 2 tsp. coconut oil
- ½ tsp. turmeric powder
- ½ tsp. Salt to taste
- ½ tsp. cayenne or chilli powder optional
- ½ tsp. pepper powder
Instructions
- Wash and peel the bananas. Soak in ½ tsp. turmeric and salt water for 10 minutes.
- This helps in preventing them from turning dark.
- Dry the bananas and using a mandolin finely slice the plantains into chips.
- Take 1 tsp. coconut oil. Add ½ tsp. turmeric powder, pepper and salt to it and mix well. Brush on both sides of the chips and mix well so that all chips are covered with the oil-spice mix.
- Preheat Air fryer at 200 C or 390 F for 5 minutes.
- Lay the chips in the Air fryer so that the overlap is minimal. Air fry at 200 C or 390 F for about 4-6 minutes. For thicker chips, you may need about 8 minutes.
- Shake the basket once in the middle. If needed brush once more with oil (optional). Take out any chips which have turned brown on the sides.
- Fry the remaining for a minute or 2 more only if they are not cooked. Take it out and have it hot. Your delicious and healthy plantain chips are ready to eat.
- Be very careful to watch the chips after 4 minutes if you have sliced them thin. These chips will burn very quickly.

Notes
1. The air frying time will vary depending upon the thickness of your chips. For my medium thick chips, I took exact 6 minutes. For even thinner chips, you may need about 4 minutes and for thicker ones slightly more.
2. Use any of the spice mixes mentioned above the recipe as per your preference.
3. You can store the chips in an airtight container. Before serving just Air fry for a couple of minutes to make them crispy again.
4. You can use any other vegetable oil in place of coconut oil like olive oil or sunflower oil.
5. Adding the spice mix to the oil and brushing with it helps the spices to adhere better to the chips. You could sprinkle them later as well.
6. Do check out the step-by-step pictures of the recipe below the recipe card for a better understanding.
7. You can deep fry or oven bake the same chips as well.
