Ingredients

  • banana

    1

  • acidic fruit juice (lemon, lime, orange, pineapple) to reduce browning

    optional

  • cinnamon or other flavorings

    optional

Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash hands with soap and water.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 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. 6

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