Question

Can I make banana chips without lemon juice?

Community Answer

Yes, you can. The lemon juice adds tartness, plus it keeps them from turning dark. If you're okay with having black banana chips, then laving the lemon juice out shouldn't be an issue.

Question

Why should the banana be put into water before frying?

Community Answer

This prevents it burning. If you don't do this first, your banana will be very likely to burn.

Can I use an air fryer?

Community Answer

Yes, you can, but watch them carefully so they don't overly dry. If you over-dry them, they might be hard and they probably won't taste as good.

Question

Does the banana taste good with the lemon juice?

Community Answer

The lemon is to keep the banana chips from blackening rather than flavor. If you like lemon flavor, you can add more.
