Who doesn't adore chips, right? From the little ones to the grown-ups, everyone's got a soft spot for these crunchy delights. But hold up - we're not just talking about your regular potato chips here. Think beyond and imagine a world of banana chips! Whether we're on a road trip or having a cosy movie night, these munchies have our backs. Traditionally, making these crispy wonders involves slicing raw bananas into delicate pieces, followed by a satisfying dip in coconut oil until they reach that gloriously golden crisp. But hey, coconut oil isn't everyone's jam, so you can go for your preferred cooking oil. However, for those who shy away due to the deep-frying game, fret not, because today we're unveiling a game-changing healthy version of these banana chips.
