Tips and Tricks

• If you prefer an extra crispy coating, the addition of 2 tablespoons of rice flour to the batter can make a significant difference.
• Overripe bananas are recommended for this recipe. They caramelize better during the deep frying process, yielding a sweeter and more flavorful result.
• Follow the battering instructions and air fry according to your air fryer's settings for a healthier twist.
• For a smaller batch or a quicker method, you can use a non-stick pan with a little bit of oil.
