Pre-Treat (Optional)
  1. Add 1 cup of lemon or lime juice to one quart of water.
  2. Soak the peeled bananas in the water for around 10 minutes.
  3. Allow them to dry thoroughly before adding them to the dehydrator.
Dehydrate
  1. Slice your bananas about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Place your bananas on the dehydrator racks. Make sure they have space between them to allow air to flow freely.
  3. Set your dehydrator to 135 degrees F, and allow it to run for around 24 hours.
  4. Sample chips until desired consistency is reached. Slightly chewy to crisp is the range.
Store
  1. Keep your banana chips in a food safe container.
  2. Make sure you label and date.
  3. They will keep for six months to a year. If at any point moisture or mold appears in the jar, toss them in the compost.
