Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes to ensure even cooking temperature.

Peel bananas and slice into uniform 1/8-inch thick rounds using sharp knife.

Use mandoline slicer for perfectly even thickness if available.

Pat banana slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

In small bowl, combine lemon and lime juice for preventing browning.

Gently toss banana slices with citrus juice mixture to coat evenly.

Let banana slices sit for 2 minutes to absorb citrus flavors.

In separate bowl, mix granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom.

Add ginger powder, cloves, and allspice to spice mixture if using.

Drizzle melted coconut oil and vanilla extract over banana slices.

Toss gently to ensure all slices are lightly coated with oil.

Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over oiled banana slices.

Use hands to gently rub coating into each slice for even coverage.

Lightly spray air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Arrange banana slices in single layer in air fryer basket.

Don't overcrowd - cook in batches if necessary for best results.

Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time.

Check for golden color and desired crispiness at 8 minutes.

Continue cooking 2-3 minutes more if additional crispiness desired.

Remove chips when golden brown and starting to crisp around edges.

Transfer immediately to wire cooling rack for proper air circulation.

Let cool completely - chips will continue crisping as they cool.

Sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar while still slightly warm.

Add pinch of sea salt for enhanced flavor contrast if desired.

Store completely cooled chips in airtight container at room temperature.

Enjoy within 3-4 days for best texture and flavor.
