BANANA CHIPS SEASONING

Banana chips are naturally sweet, especially if you use overripe bananas or ripe bananas. This super-simple banana chip recipe is delicious just as it is. However, if you want to add more flavor you can always sprinkle seasoning; such as aromatic spices. You will only need to sprinkle the spices or seasoning of your choice before you bake your banana chips. For some inspiration check a few ideas below.

SEASONING IDEAS

• Ginger powder.
• Nutmeg.
• Cinnamon.
• Cocoa powder.

BANANA CHIPS TIPS:

• Bananas: for this recipe, I used ripe bananas (ripe plantain), but you can also use overripe bananas too. This is a great recipe and easy to make when you have loads of bananas that may go to waste.
• Cooking: this recipe is oil-free, to cook these homemade banana chips are ideal for baking sheets or parchment paper. If you prefer not to use a prepared baking sheet, you can pour olive oil, cooking spray, or oil of your choice on the baking tray.
• Cooking times: To prepare these banana chips recipes I used an oven method to bake them. I used an electric fan-assisted oven, so cooking times can vary depending on the oven you use. Also, which shelf of the oven you use to cook this snack can affect the cooking; for example, if you the top shelf your banana chip may cook quicker and get more crispy.
• Storage: once your homemade baked banana chips are cooked to your taste let them cool completely (you can use a cooling rack or wire rack but that’s optional). Then, to remove them from the baking sheet (sheet with parchment paper) use a metal spatula and store them in an airtight container.

Ingredients

• 2 Medium ripe bananas.
• ½ Fresh lemon (Juice).

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 100 °C degrees (fan oven) / 212 °F approx.
2. Peel your 2 ripe bananas and remove any dark area that is not in good condition.
3. Slice the bananas (you can choose if you want the thinly sliced or not).
4. Place the banana slices on an oven baking tray with a baking sheet or parchment paper. Also, place them in a single layer and leave space between them.
5. Then, with half lemon juice lightly brush the banana slices*.
6. Bake your banana slices in the oven for 1½ hr.
7. Then flip them over with a metal spatula (or cooking spatula that you have) and bake for another 30 minutes.
8. Once this cooking time is completed, let them cool down for 5 to 10 minutes and check if they are crunchy to your taste. If they are not to your taste, place the banana slices in the oven again and cook for another 20 minutes.

Notes

*If you want to add spices you can do so at this step of the recipe.

For the serving portion, I calculate 1 banana per serving. Once the banana slices are baked it would be around 25 gr. per serving.
