WHY hasn't this video gone viral? WOW you explained all the problems and gave the fixes. PLUS I didn't know the grocery store ones were fried. Banana powder? WOW I will recommend this to anyone that likes dried food. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I gave mine a pineapple juice bath. They were crisp and delicious.

All this time I thought the banana chips at the store were dehydrated! Thank you for that bit of knowledge .

This video is just what I needed. My sister's banana tree produced 60 bananas! We were getting ready to freeze them but now I'm going dehydrate as many as I can. Thank you so much. 😊

Banana chips are so good! I love the idea of blending them for extra banana flavor in baking. ❤

My bananas always turn out perfect but they take a long time to dehydrate. Almost 24 hrs on 135F but for the last few hrs I turn the heat up to 150F so they get nice and crunchy. I also use bananas that are not too ripe and don’t use lemon.

Thanks so much for teaching me how to make crisp banana chips. My daughter loves crisp chips but my son loves the chewy banana chips. The best part of the crisp chips i can powdered them and put them in recipes 😊

Finally I know why mine always stay soft. I need to slice them thinner and leave them in longer. Thank you so much. I'm going to try some honey in them next time 😊

Thanks Darcey been afraid to dehydrate bananas, not anymore! Appreciate your hard work.

Thank you, i did not know that the store bough ones were fried.

Finally! I have always wanted to know how to make them snap. Thank you!

hi purposeful pantry 🤗 thanks for this info. i just dehydrated bananas a few days ago. they do end up somewhat bendy, but we eat them so quickly that we dont mind not having a complete snap. and i definitely don't want to fry them like the stores do. tfs

When I got my dehydrator, the first project I tried was bananas. Oops! I made all the errors you showed in this video and then some. It took 2 days to get close to dry. I was so disheartened that I put the dehydrator back in the box and almost sent it back. It stayed in the box for 2 years. Then I found your channel. Thanks so much for all your teaching! Now, I love my dehydrator, it is a off-brand from Amazon. I have done so many projects that I love and depend on having in my pantry.

I put my bananas in the freezer 1st to harden for easier slicing and laying out on my trays

This was the perfect time. I had just sat down to process bananas and this was the first thing I saw.

My son loves banana chips. But ripe some brown outside fairly soft inside. Slice diagonally, loves the shape, I try . Onto tray in dehydrator 125 till done. Almost day and half. Very sweet and store well. Takes hiking, snacks. Camping. Are crisp, and he said way better than store bought crap. Got some still in ziploc bag from 6-8 months. Still great.

I've dipped my bananas in oj for about 4 decades. Love them! Soft and delicious. Don't like crunchy banana chips.

So grateful for your tutelage here!

Thanks Darcey for all you share. Such a valuable bit of knowledge since i love my dehydrater.

Your videos are so full of valuable information. Thanks for all you do.

Definitely need to try the bananas again. dehydrated them today and definitely need to cut them thinner.

Dehydrated bananas are litterally my favorite thing they are so sweet and I love the chewy ones they are the perfect snack

Great idea! I've made the crunchy bananas before but didn't think about the banana powder - that has a ton of potential!

Great tips, excellent explanation for all the typical issues drying bananas. Thank you for sharing your process.

I prefer chewy. I store in the frig. No lemon juice. I didn't like planks because of the dark seed line. I use an egg slicer to slice.

Awesome! 🙌🥳 🍌 I am okay with "bendy" banana chips, but they're not getting eaten. "Crispy" might be the way to go AND I love the idea of making banana powder as needed. The Banana Split Trail mix would be a terrific snack to stash at work. 😍 Love, love, love it. Thanks so much for sharing these tips! 💖😄👍

Gearing up to be ready to roll when I finally get a dehydrator... great info to know for making 'nana chips!

Freeze dry your banana peels and grind them into powder. You can sprinkle them around your tomato plants

I appreciate all your tips to make banana chips and powder, I’m especially eager to try banana powder in some recipes.

thank you! I just got beautiful bananas from my banana tree and now I plan to dehydrate some bananas in my brand new Cuisinart dehydrator

This is the best video on dehydrating bananas that I have ever seen. Someone gave me a box of bananas yesterday and I’ll have to try this. I have a large commercial dehydrater that I seldom use and a smaller regular Cosori. I may have to bring out the big one. Thanks so much!

I'm gonna give it a try. Mine never turned out. Now I know why😊. Thank you for sharing.

Girrrrrrrrrrrrrl!😂😂😂😂My 1st batch was like hell naw, i said never again😂😂😂 but i will try it since you say it works.

I bought myself a cosori dehydrator for Christmas and haven’t used it yet due to lack of knowledge. Thank you so much for this video😊

You are a genius dehydrator ! Just got the cosori and did them for 8 hours, boo!!

what an amazing video, as a noob this is precious info right here

I’d like to know how to make the fried banana chips 😋

Great advice for the beginner like myself.

Darcy thanks for these tips and since I have bananas to dehydrate I am using these tips

You answered all my questions in one video thank you!

I love doing banana chips. They're great for a quick snack.

Very helpful, thanks Darcy!

thank you so much I enjoy every video and tips.

My adult kids love my dehydrated banana chips. They always turn out in between crisp and pliable This isn’t a problem because they’re usually gone within a few days. I would make them more often but I don’t like slicing them. However, I may make some this week trying the toppings.

Thank you!

shop bought ones are fried, crikey so that's the secret ? ive shied away from bananas as i didn't have any success, i even tried the lemon bath but they just tasted like lemon banana, with your tips im going to try again. thanks darcy.

Thanks for the wonderful video! Can you reuse the moisture absorbers or do you toss them after you finish the banana chips?

Love it, thanks 😊

Good info for bananas.

Thank you ❤

Great ideas onnyje flavorings used!

😂😂😂 You're lettin' your Texan show ❤

Do you make the peanut butter powder too?!?! You’re amazing❤

What do you think the cost of dehydrating yourself including all the electricity costs vs. buying?

The thinner you slice, they better they dry. I dipped mine in lemon juice and I don't like the sourness. Will try another type of acid next time

Thank you very excellent❤❤

your the best 🙂

Woo hoo! I have a banana and I’m gonna try this. 🎉

I love them freeze dried, but not necessarily dehydrated

Banana powder is great in oatmeal.

Nooooo! I adore the chewy ones! I plan for them!

Can you make dry soup?Mix out of the vegetables that you dehydrate and how and what can you put in these dry suit mix.

Hello. I don't have a dehydrater. My oven does 200F minimum. Can I dehydrate in that temperature and get the same result? Or something else will happen

I love dehydrating bananas

I love chewy!

I just bought one of these machines. Do you turn your dehydrator off to rest a bit or run for tge full 30 hours?

Could you please help m3 with a question .. I dehydrated mango slices in Dec 2023. On checking my bottles, they are clumping together. I cannot detect any mould .. could I put these back in the dehydrator till they “snap”?

Where can I buy the machine to make them

Sprinkling with a tea sieve might waste less…

Link for strawberries pls

Thanks for sharing.

Where would I buy the sheet thing you have the bananas cooking on?

What is the paper underneath

What moisture packs do you suggest work the best?

Can overripe bananas be dried to keep for bread?

Are you using moisture absorbers or oxygen absorbers

Did i see pieces of banana peel on another tray?

Well, I must be the oddball because I want my bananas to turn out pliable - like fruit leather, but still bananas - like the product "Just Bananas, Flattened" that Trader Joe's used to carry. My first attempt last night - on sheets of wax paper (cuz I saw that somewhere else??) - 8 hrs @ 135F, and they came out almost perfect except permanently stuck to the wax paper. I took my banana halves and smashed them (just like the flattened bananas), so I wasn't sure how to do that and use the silicone mesh sheets... I had to throw them all away (unless I wanted to eat wax paper, lol). ....As I type this, I see your "banana fruit leather roll ups" video on the right, but that's not what I want - I still want them to look like bananas. Oh well - back to the drawing board (sure did hurt to throw 5 bananas away...).

I don't like banana chips... I prefer banana leathers. I place them in the dehydrator whole unless they are large then I cut them in half lengthwise. I find the chips to be too sweet and I don't like the crunch of them.

Are the silicon sheets reusable? Where do you get them?

What is the mat used on the rack?

Where is a link for the silicone liners

💜💙💜

My.mind is blown, I had no clue that banana chips are fried. No wonder dried banana never comes out right😅
