• Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. You may need to work in batches.
• Air fry for 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer and banana thickness.
• Carefully remove the banana chips from the air fryer and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up further as they cool.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or a drizzle of vanilla extract to the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Ensure bananas are firm and ripe for best results. Green bananas can be too starchy, and overly ripe bananas can be too soft and sweet.
