Entertaining Appetizer - Cappucino

Dehydrating any types of fruit and especially bananas dehydrating can be a very difficult task. Do you really want to have your oven on for 15 hours at a temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit may dry them fine, but they just do not taste very nice? Unfortunately dehydrating bananas when they lose a lot of their flavor and you are often left with a faintly sweet, spongy feeling disc of fruit.

But those bananas which have been commercially dehydrated are beautifully crunchy and taste great. However, the way they are produced is not good for those who are extremely conscience about what they eat as they are deep fried. What happens is that the slices of banana are deep fried in coconut oil and then dipped into sugar water to provide that glistening sheen to them.

So fat as you can see producing dehydrated bananas takes more than just using high temperatures and lots of patience and surely there is a much healthier way of cooking them that does not involve us using.

Well hopefully the recipe shown below will produce the ideal dehydrated banana without removing any of the fruit's flavor and nutrients.

Firstly cut the bananas into equal sized slices and place them on a mesh sheet.
Now soak them in some fresh lemon juice for about 5 minutes (however, any citrus juice will do so if you want use any time of unsweented juice that you like).
To dehydrate them place them in an oven set at 125 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 hours and not take them out of oven as soon as they have become pliable and are crunchy. Remember the ones that you purchase in stores which are crunchy are dehydrated by deep frying them rather than actually drying them.

Now that your own dehydrated bananas you have why not try using them with alternative ways for example add them to your banana bread to produce a pleasant zing taste your recipe. Or why do not you throw them in just to your next bowl of porridge or oatmeal in the morning to add a pleasant crunch and some natural sweetness, why not add some honey as well.

But as you can see making a sweet healthy snack alternative for yourself is simple and will not taste like bits of bricks.
