It was scoring a great deal on bananas that got me wanting to learn How to Make your own Banana Chips
I found that it is easier to do than I would have imagined it to be.

How to Make your own Banana Chips

How to Make your own Banana Chips

It all started when I was shopping at the grocery store.
The store was having a deal on bananas. Of course, I bought a lot of bananas. I know that I can bake with them, eat them with peanut butter and store some away for later. I guess that you could say that I went bananas for bananas 🙂

Storing bananas away for a rainy day is easy to do.
If you like to add bananas to your smoothies, you can freeze them. To snack on bananas at any time, making banana chips is an easy option. I like an easy option too.

Banana chips are a healthy snack.

They are healthy when they do not have sugar added to them and they are not fried. Unfortunately, frying bananas and adding sugar to them is a popular method with many store bought options.

Making your own banana chips is an easy thing to do.
The easiest way to make them is to use a dehydrator. All you need to do is place the sliced bananas into the dehydrator and follow the product directions from there. I use my dehydrator all the time- especially during this time of the year. You can buy a dehydrator at a reasonable price on Amazon.

How to Make your own Banana Chips

Banana chips can be a healthy snack that you can bring with you about anywhere to enjoy. I get a bit frustrated when I read the labels on the store bought banana chips only to find that they are loaded with sugars, preservatives, and then fried. All of that processing defeats the whole idea of a healthy banana chip in my opinions.

Ingredients:

  • Bananas- the amount depends on how much space you have and how many bananas you have.
  • Optional but, often recommended items: lemon juice to preserve color, sugar alternative (best in a shaker), and vegetable oil spray.

Directions:

  • Prep your dehydrator for nonstick, following any given directions from the manufacturer. I spray with nonstick vegetable oil.
  • Peel your banana(s) and then cut them into slices. Cut your banana slices into ⅛-1/4 inch wide chips. *TIP: Use a slightly unripened banana for best results as it will be easier to slice into thinner slices.
  • If preserving bananas with lemon juice, spray or dip the bananas prior to placing on the rack
  • Place your sliced bananas on the rack side by side making sure to not overlap them.
  • Sprinkle any desired sugar alternative on to the bananas .
  • Dehydrate as per the directions of the manufacturer.
  • Flip the bananas over halfway through dehydrating- about 6 hours. I always try to flip my chips over once during the baking and re-sprinkle them with sugar alternative..
  • Tip, you can optionally use an oven instead of a dehydrator.
    • Do so by preheating the oven to 175.
    • Prep a baking sheet for nonstick using parchment paper or the method of your choice.
    • Bake the bananas in your oven for up to 2 hours or until crisp, flipping them over midway.
  • Baking time will depend upon how thick your chips are as well.
  • Allow the chips to cool and they should harden for you.
  • If you store these in an air-tight jar, they should keep for up to a couple of months- way longer than regular bananas.
