Choose a few perfectly ripe, unblemished and undamaged bananas. Be careful, any rotting and crushing of the banana becomes more visible when the fruit dries and gives a bad taste to the fruit.

Cover the baking tray with greaseproof paper and arrange the banana rings on it. Be careful not to stack the rings.

After 6 hours, take the dried bananas out of the oven and put them in plastic or glass containers. Leave the containers open for 4 to 5 days so that any remaining moisture from the banana drying process can evaporate. Dried bananas have a leather-like texture.
