Here’s a simple recipe for homemade banana chips: Just sprinkle the thinly sliced green bananas with sugar and a little salt and deep fry until golden brown. Drain and let cool. Store in sealed containers ( i keep mine in bottles).
You have to make them in batches though, as the sugar turns watery if you let it sit before cooking.
Enjoy!

Michelle’s banana chips are available at asian stores in our area and it is pretty good. Thin and crunchy, the level of sweetness is fine for me. Very addicting after the first bag we bought last week, we ended up going back to get 3 more bags. Definitely the best one I have ever tasted.

I prefer my to fry my banana chips using almost ripe saba bananas so that i don’t have to bother with putting sugar. It’s more healthier but still deliciously crispy… yum!

Maybe the packaged ones have some sort of chemical anti-humidity agent to keep them crisp. One thing about the home-made ones is at least you know they’re chemical-free. Just eat them quickly!

Maybe the slices are coated with sugar first and left to macerate for a while, then drained and left to sundry. Maybe doing this process 2 or 3 times and each time the drained syrup is boiled to killl any undesirables, cooled down and added to the bananas. Drain and sundry again. After the final sundrying, then it is oven baked or deep fried. I guess this experiment will have to wait till we get really how weather for at least 1 week in a row!!!
