- Soak to keep colour (optional):– mix 1 tablespoon of lime juice with 1 cup of water– soak banana slices for 5 minutes to stop them from turning brown.
- Dry the bananas:– food dehydrator: place banana slices on trays, not touching– dry at 135°F (57°C) for 6–12 hours, flipping halfway– oven: Set oven to the lowest heat (around 140°F/60°C)– lay slices on a tray lined with baking paper– leave the door slightly open– dry for 6–8 hours, checking often.
