Whisk spice mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.

Drizzle melted coconut oil and honey over banana slices evenly.

Add vanilla extract and almond extract to banana mixture.

Toss banana slices gently to coat with oil and extract mixture.

Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over banana slices gradually.

Toss banana slices carefully to coat evenly with spice mixture.

Let coated banana slices sit for 5 minutes to absorb flavors.

Do not overcrowd - work in batches if necessary for even cooking.

Air fry for 6-8 minutes, then flip slices with tongs carefully.

Continue air frying for 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy throughout.
