Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Cooking spray or parchment paper

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F (95°C). This low temperature will ensure that the banana chips dry out properly without burning.

    Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick rounds. The thinner you cut them, the crunchier they will become.

      Toss with Lemon Juice: In a mixing bowl, combine the banana slices with lemon juice. This prevents browning and adds a subtle tang.

        Add Sweetness and Spice: If you prefer a sweeter chip, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the bananas. Then sprinkle the ground cinnamon and sea salt. Gently toss everything together until the banana slices are evenly coated.

          Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

            Arrange the Bananas: Place the banana slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they aren’t overlapping to allow for even drying.

              Bake: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 2 hours. After this time, flip the banana chips over to ensure even drying.

                Check for Doneness: Continue baking for another hour or until the chips are golden and crispy but not burnt. Keep a close eye on them, as baking times can vary.

                  Cool and Store: Once baked, remove the banana chips from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.

                    Enjoy Your Snack: These cinnamon banana chips make a perfect healthy snack, a great addition to cereals, or a delicious topping for yogurt!
