Golden Crispy Dehydrated Banana Chips (No Sugar) | Septree

Ingredients

• Ripe, firm bananas (yellow with no dark spots)

• Anti-browning solution: 1 cup water mixed with 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (citrus bath)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Uniform Slicing: Slice bananas into uniform 5mm (approx. 3/16 inch) thick rounds.

2. Citrus Dip: Submerge banana slices into the anti-browning lemon water bath for 10 minutes to prevent oxidation.

3. Tray Spacing: Drain slices and place them on Septree stainless steel trays in a single layer, ensuring space between pieces.

4. Dehydrating: Set the Septree dehydrator to 130°F (55°C) and process for 8 to 10 hours.

5. Crispness Testing: Remove a slice and let it cool completely. It should be firm and snap easily when broken.

Conditioning & Storage

• Conditioning: Place dried chips loosely in a closed jar for 7 days, shaking daily to redistribute remaining moisture evenly.

• Storage: Vacuum seal in airtight containers for long-term crispness and freshness.
