Weight Watchers Banana Chips
A Crispy, Naturally Sweet, Low-Point Snack!)

Introduction
These homemade banana chips are a healthy, crunchy alternative to store-bought versions that often contain added sugars and oils. They’re naturally sweet, easy to make, and Weight Watchers-friendly! Perfect for snacking on the go or adding to yogurt, oatmeal, or trail mix.
Ingredients
✅ 2 ripe but firm bananas
✅ Juice of ½ lemon (to prevent browning)
✅ 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
(No added sugar, oil, or preservatives!)

Instructions


Oven Method:

Preheat the oven to 225°F (107°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the bananas into thin, even rounds (⅛-inch thick).
Toss banana slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Arrange slices in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Optional: Sprinkle with cinnamon for extra flavor.
Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping halfway, until crisp.
Let cool completely before eating. Chips will crisp up more as they cool.
Air Fryer Method:

Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
Prepare banana slices as above.
Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
