Equipment

  • 1 Parchment Paper
  • 1 Baking Tray
  • 1 Small Knife
  • 1 Glass Tupperware Container

Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 Green Bananas You can

Instructions
 

  • Start by lining a baking tray with parchment paper. Use a knife to cut down the long way of the banana. Pull back both sides of the peel and pop out the banana.
  • Add the peeled bananas to the parchment paper lined baking tray. Cut the bananas into small discs with a knife.
  • Next, line the banana discs up on the tray so they are in one even layer.
  • Place the bananas on a baking sheet for 3-4 hours or until firm.
  • Remove the banana discs from the freezer and peel them off of the parchment paper. Transfer them to an airtight container and store in the freezer until you're ready to use!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • If you want to save space in your freezer, use a reusable silicone freezer bag instead of a Tupperware container. My favorite freezer-safe bags are by the brand Stasher.
  • Do not layer the bananas on the tray or they will freeze together.
  • The riper the bananas are, the easier they will be to peel.
  • Use a parchment paper-lined tray to prevent the bananas from sticking.
  • Make sure you freeze them with the peels off. For best results, follow my step-by-step instructions.
  • If you want the bananas to freeze quickly, cut them into thinner slices.
