Chewy Baked Banana Chips Recipe

While not the most nutrient rich fruit available, bananas are chalked full of vitamin C, B6, potassium and magnesium, but best of all they possess a form of fiber called resistant starch that keeps your body fuller longer and helps reduce fat accumulation in the body. That being said, think outside the box and experiment with different ways to eat this wonderful fruit that’s both good and good for you. They can be fried, boiled and baked, but we’re going to focus on the baked with this simple recipe!

Chewy Baked Banana Chips Recipe

Author: Ashley

Recipe type: Snack

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas, peeled
Juice from 1 lemon
Kosher salt (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
Peel and slice each banana into ¼ inch thick slices, dip in lemon juice and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. (Sprinkle with salt before baking if you desire a salty sweet chip.)
Bake for 2-3 hours. Remove from oven and cool completely before storing. (The longer you bake the chips the crispier they will become. Adjust cook time according to desired consistency. Baking for 6-8 hours will yield a hard crisp chip more in line with store bought banana chips without frying in oil or adding extra sugar.)
Yields 60-70 chips.

Notes

* Eat by the handful for a quick and wholesome snack! * Toss them in yogurt, cereal, and oatmeal or over granola with a drizzle of honey for a delicious breakfast. * Dip in melted dark chocolate for a decadent dessert!
