Roasted Bananas

I decided to roast bananas for a handful of recipes ... and eating on their own. The longer the bananas are roasted, the closer they come to making banana chips. I did not cook mine to the chip status as I was looking to utilize them in recipes.

Simple Roasting Tips:

• Preheat Oven to 375 
• Cut the ends off the bananas (I like to use bananas that are yellow with a few brown spots...a medium sweet banana)
• Cut the bananas in half lengthwise and width
• Place the bananas on non-stick aluminum foil with peel side down
• Optional: add a small amount of butter to the top of the banana or spray olive oil

Bake 30 minutes for a tender banana that can easily slide off the skin and be added to recipes or be eaten on its own.

Bake additional time to dehydrate  ... check after 1 hour as this will depend on your oven and the thickness of the banana slices and the ripeness of the bananas.
