Questions about Banana chip
Are banana chips fried or dried?
Many crunchy banana chips are thin slices fried in oil, sometimes with added sugar; softer dried banana is simply dehydrated and chewier. Check the ingredients if you want to know whether a packet contains added oil or sugar.
How can you make banana chips at home?
For crisp chips, slice firm, slightly green bananas very thinly, brush lightly with lemon juice and bake in a single layer at 110°C for about 2–3 hours, turning once. They crisp further as they cool; ripe bananas make softer, sweeter slices.
How should you store banana chips to keep them crisp?
Cool homemade chips completely, then keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard. If they soften, spread them on a tray and warm them in a low oven until crisp, then cool before sealing again.
What can you eat banana chips with?
Scatter them over porridge, yoghurt or cereal for crunch, or mix them into trail mix with nuts and seeds. They also work in sweet-and-savoury snack mixes with roasted nuts and a little chilli.
Can you use banana chips instead of dried banana?
Use dried banana when you want a chewy, soft texture, such as in baking or a snack mix; banana chips are better when you want a crisp topping. Chips can be oily or sweetened, so they may change the flavour and texture of a recipe.
How do you choose banana chips that are less sweet or oily?
Compare the ingredient lists: plain banana chips may contain just banana and oil, while others include added sugar, syrup or flavourings. Choose unsweetened, dry-looking slices if you want a less sticky snack.
