Ingredients

Instructions
 

  • 1️⃣ Prep the Bananas
  • Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes.

  • Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Notes

✔️ Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
✔️ Reheating: Refresh in the air fryer at 300°F for 2-3 minutes if they soften.
✔️ Variations: Try adding nutmeg, pumpkin spice, or drizzling melted chocolate for extra flavor!
