# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These come together faster than ordering delivery and taste way better
  • The air fryer makes them perfectly crispy without deep frying
  • You probably have everything you need in your pantry right now
02 -
  • Work in batches rather than overcrowding the air fryer or the chips will be soggy
  • Flip them halfway through for even golden color on both sides
  • They continue crisping as they cool so dont worry if they seem slightly soft when you pull them out
03 -
  • Use fresh cinnamon for the best flavor, old spices lose their punch quickly
  • Brush the butter all the way to the edges so those parts dont burn
  • The chips will look darker than you expect but taste perfect
