Banana chips are sliced bananas that have been dried and typically deep-fried or occasionally baked, resulting in a crunchy snack sold widely in supermarkets and health food stores. They are commonly eaten as a standalone snack, added to trail mixes, or used as a topping for cereals and desserts. Per 100 g, banana chips provide 519 kcal, 2.3 g of protein, 33.6 g of fat, 50.7 g of carbohydrates, and 7.7 g of dietary fibre, with sugars accounting for 35.3 g of those carbohydrates — a notably energy-dense profile driven largely by the frying process.
