Banana chips are fried, dried slices of banana coated with sugar or honey. They are light yellow, round slices, and are often sold in bulk and eaten as snacks or sometimes used in baking. Chips are crunchy, flavorful, and sweet, and are quite high in calories and fat.
An 85-gram serving of banana chips has 441 calories and 29 grams of fat. However, they can be used sparingly to add to cereal or muffins. Some chips can go a long way taste-wise, as extra banana flavors are usually added to commercial chips. The fat content is high because the fries are fried in oil before being dried. This gives them their pleasant freshness.
The banana chips can be made in a food dehydrator and this eliminates the high fat content as there is no need for oil or frying. But the crunchy texture is usually lost in this method, and the fries can be hard and look brown. Some people dry banana slices into chips by baking them in a regular oven, but the flavor can be lost in the oven drying method.
The chips are also available in organic varieties, which means that organically grown bananas are used for the chips. Chocolate covered ones are also available in some areas. Banana chips are great to have on hand when you want some banana flavor as fresh bananas don’t last long.
Banana chips can be used to garnish sundaes with or in place of nuts, and many people enjoy them with chocolate ice cream and chocolate syrup. You can also use them on top of chocolate icing to decorate a chocolate banana cake. A few chips thrown into the trail mix can add a lot of flavor. Remember to enjoy them in moderation due to their high fat content. Fresh bananas are much healthier and can be used in many dishes.
