Main Ingredients:
- 4 bananas
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to 200°F and grab a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Peel 4 ripe bananas and slice them into ultra-thin ⅛-inch rounds.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the banana slices, ensuring each piece gets a light coating.
- Mix 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 2 tablespoons sugar, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
- Gently roll each banana slice in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely covered.
- Arrange the coated slices in a single layer without overlapping on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated 200°F oven and bake for 75 minutes, carefully flipping the chips at the 37-minute mark.
- Remove from the oven and let the banana chips cool completely until they become crisp and delicate.
- Break apart any chips that might have stuck together during baking.
- Transfer the crunchy chips to an airtight container for storing and snacking.
Notes
- Choose ripe but firm bananas for the best texture and sweetness in your chips.
- Slice bananas consistently thin to ensure even drying and crispy results.
- Pat banana slices dry with paper towels after the lemon juice soak to help them crisp up better.
- Store chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week to maintain their crunchiness.
