BANANA CHIPS

I have bananas coming out of my ears kids go through stages some weeks they eat them some weeks they don't so I normally freeze them for shakes and make muffins for the kids school lunches. Here's an easy recipe to make banana chips.

Ingredients

Use ripe, but firm bananas, thinly sliced
freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 lemon is plenty)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 100C .Cover a sheet pan with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.Toss the bananas in lemon juice.Arrange the bananas in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.Bake for 2 hours, flip the slices with a metal spatula, and continue to bake for 1.5 hours longer, or until desired crispness.Remove from oven and transfer the chips to a wire rack.Cool completely. The longer they cool, the crunchier they will get.Store in an airtight container.
Optional: Drizzle chips with honey once out of oven.
I think they are sweet enough on their own
