Dehydrating bananas in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to preserve the fruit and make tasty, healthy snacks. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
- Start by selecting ripe, but not overripe, bananas. Peel them and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Preheat your air fryer to 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the banana slices in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Dehydrate the bananas for about 2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp. Check on them every 30 minutes, and give the basket a shake to ensure that the slices dehydrate evenly.
- Once the bananas are dehydrated, remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool completely.
- Store the dehydrated bananas in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They will last for several months.
Some tips:
- You can also add flavor by adding cinnamon or vanilla extract before dehydrating.
- If you want to make banana chips, you can also slice bananas in to thin round slices.
- Keep in mind that drying times may vary depending on the ripeness and thickness of the banana slices, so you may need to adjust the time accordingly.
Dehydrated bananas make for a great, healthy snack on their own, or you can use them in recipes like trail mix, granola, or banana bread. They are also great for backpacking or camping trips as they are lightweight and easy to transport.
