Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe but firm bananas
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Brush the banana slices lightly with lemon juice to prevent browning and to keep their fresh appearance.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the banana slices.
- Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 1½ to 2 hours, flipping the slices halfway through. Watch carefully toward the end to avoid burning.
- Remove the banana chips from the oven and let them cool for 10–15 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week or enjoy immediately.
Notes
You can adjust the sweetness by reducing the sugar or using a natural sweetener such as coconut sugar.
For a variation, try adding a pinch of nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar blend.
Make sure banana slices are uniform in thickness to ensure even baking.
