# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes less than 20 minutes from pantry to plate, making it perfect for unexpected cravings or last-minute guests.
  • The air fryer does almost all the work while you sip your coffee or chat with someone in the kitchen.
  • Sweet, crispy, and utterly satisfying without feeling like you're doing anything complicated.
02 -
  • Don't skip the flip halfway through. Unflipped chips on the bottom will steam instead of crisping, and you'll end up disappointed.
  • The cinnamon sugar can burn if your air fryer runs hot. If you notice browning too fast, lower the temperature by 25 degrees and add a minute to the cook time.
03 -
  • If your cinnamon sugar mixture clumps, break it up with the back of a spoon or give it a quick sift before coating the chips.
  • A pastry brush makes buttering go faster, but your fingers work just fine too if that's all you have on hand.
