Ingredients

  • 4 bananas

Instructions

  • Peel the bananas and cut them into thin discs. The thinner you cut them, the faster they dry out in the oven. Aim to cut them in 5 mm or ¼ inch discs, or thinner.
  • Dehydrate them in the oven at 250°F / 100°C fan oven / 120°C for 2-3 hours. The banana slices are done when they have dried out and are crispy.
  • Leave the banana chips to cool down completely before serving them.

Top tips

Here are my best tips for perfect oven baked banana slices:
  • Be patient as the banana slices bake. Don’t be tempted to increase the temperature of the oven, as this can cause the bananas to burn.
  • I like to make my banana chips plain, but you can try to add some seasoning such as cinnamon if you wish.
  • The banana chips will naturally brown as they dry out. If you want the banana slices to be more yellow, you can coat them in a thin layer of lemon juice before you bake them.
