INGREDIENTS

  • Main

    • 🍌 1 banana
    • Acidic fruit juice such as lemon, lime, orange, or pineapple to reduce browning
    • Cinnamon or other flavorings

STEPS

1

Wash hands with soap and water.

2

Slice bananas into 1/8 to 1/4-inch slices.

3

(Optional) Dip banana slices into fruit juice to reduce browning. Sprinkle with cinnamon or other flavorings if desired.

4

Dry until pieces bend like thick leather and no longer feel sticky.

5

Oven Instructions: Set oven to lowest temperature possible (175 to 200 °F). Use convection bake if available. Arrange banana slices in a single layer on a wire rack or baking sheet. A wire rack will help the banana dry faster. A baking sheet takes longer and pieces need to be turned part way through drying. Drying takes 1 to 3 hours.

6

Dehydrator Instructions: Arrange banana slices in a single layer on dehydrator racks. Set dehydrator to 135 °F. Drying takes 6 to 12 hours.
