• Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced bananas with cinnamon and sugar. Toss them until evenly coated.
• Step 3: Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
• Step 4: Arrange the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they aren’t overlapping.
• Step 5: Air fry the banana slices at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.
• Step 6: Once they are golden and crisp, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
