Step-by-step recipe for making dried bananas:
1. Wash the banana and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut it straight into the peel into rings 3-5 mm thick. Of course, the skin can be removed before slicing, but it will be more convenient to cut it evenly in the skin. Although the drying method can be different. The banana can be sliced in half, quartered, or dried whole.
2. Remove the peel from each banana ring. Remember that bananas will shrink significantly as they dry. Remember this when slicing.
3. Place the bananas on a baking sheet or wire shelf so that the slices do not touch each other. Heat the oven to 50-70 degrees and put a tray with fruit, while leaving the door slightly ajar so that steam can escape and air can enter. Dry the bananas for about an hour, turning them over several times. If you want to keep the banana pieces from fading, sprinkle them with orange or lemon juice. Store dried bananas in a paper bag or glass jar in a ventilated area without excess moisture.
