1. Combine lemon juice and water. Slice bananas into 1/8-inch coins and soak 5 minutes.

2. Pat slices dry; mist with oil and season with salt and desired spices.

3. Arrange slices in a single layer in air fryer basket (perforated parchment optional).

4. Air-fry at 325°F (165°C) for 8–10 minutes. Flip, then cook another 6–10 minutes until golden.

5. Reduce to 300°F (150°C) for 2–6 minutes to dry. Cool fully on a rack before storing.

Use slightly underripe bananas for best crunch.

Dry slices completely before air-frying to avoid sogginess.

Cool fully before storing in airtight container with paper towel.

Re-crisp at 300°F (150°C) for 2–3 minutes if needed.
