I appreciate crunchy textures, so I figured baking homemade banana chips would be the perfect project. Considering they bake for roughly six hours, the appetizing scent of baked bananas made this recipe even sweeter. If you’re not up for the DIY banana chip commitment then grab some at the store & try some of these ideas: add them to oatmeal or cereal, create your own DIY trail mix [ like this ], or for a quick dessert dip them in dark chocolate or almond butter.

DIY Banana Chips

[ Recipe adapted from Weight Watcher’s ]

++ Makes 6 servings

2 ripe bananas

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Cut the bananas into thin slices. Coat the slices in lemon juice. Place the banana slices on parchment paper and bake them in the oven at 200 degrees F, turning every half hour and watching out for burning. Remove them when they are crispy; let them cool cool, and store them in an airtight container.
