Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas (not overripe)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice and water. This will help prevent the bananas from browning and will enhance their flavor.
Step 3
Peel the bananas and slice them evenly into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Try to keep the thickness consistent for even baking.
Step 4
Dip each banana slice into the lemon juice mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, and then lay them flat on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the slices do not overlap.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour. After one hour, flip the banana slices to ensure even baking on both sides.
Step 6
Continue baking for another 1 hour, or until the banana slices are dry and slightly crispy. The total baking time may vary depending on your oven and the thickness of your slices.
Step 7
Remove the banana chips from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crispier as they cool.
Step 8
Store the banana chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy your healthy snack!
