2. With the help of a corer , remove the central core then, with a mandolin or a very sharp knife, cut very thin slices: we made them 2 mm .
3. Season them with sugar and lemon juice and place them in the air fryer basket forming a single layer.
4. Cook at 160°C for 5-7 minutes 180°C for another 2-4 minutes . Transfer them to a plate and let them cool to obtain the final crunchy texture.
