Choose the Right Bananas – Select firm, slightly underripe bananas. Overripe ones can become too soft and sticky.
Slice Evenly – Cut bananas into thin, uniform slices (about 1/8 inch thick) to ensure even cooking and crispness.
Pre-Treat for Extra Crispiness – Soak the slices in lemon juice for a few minutes. This helps preserve color and adds a slight tang.
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mix – Combine 1 tablespoon of cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of sugar. You can use brown sugar for a richer flavor.
Lightly Coat with Oil – Toss banana slices with a small amount of coconut oil or cooking spray to enhance crispiness.
Sprinkle the Seasoning – Evenly coat the slices with the cinnamon-sugar mixture before placing them in the air fryer.
Set the Right Temperature – Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). A lower temperature prevents burning while achieving the perfect crunch.
Air Fry in Batches – Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation. Cook in a single layer for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
