Ingredients
- 3 bananas medium ripe, yellow but still firm
- 1.5 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed is recommended
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the banana slices from sticking.
- Slice the peeled bananas into uniform ⅛-inch thick rounds, ensuring consistent thickness for even baking and crisping.
- Brush both sides of each banana slice with lemon juice. This adds a subtle tang and helps prevent them from browning too much.
- Arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not touch or overlap.
- Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the edges begin to dry and the slices can be easily lifted from the parchment paper.
- Flip each chip carefully and continue baking for another 30 minutes on the second side, or until they are lightly golden and dehydrated.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the banana chips cool completely on the sheet for at least 30 minutes. They will become perfectly crispy as they cool.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
Notes
For the best results, use medium ripe bananas that are yellow but still firm. Slicing them uniformly to ⅛-inch thickness is key to achieving a perfect crunch. Remember that the chips will not be crispy straight out of the oven; they crisp up as they cool down to room temperature.
