Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas ½, 130°C, fan 110°C. Arrange the banana slices on a baking tray lined with nonstick baking paper, then brush with the lemon juice and sprinkle with ginger and cinnamon. Bake for 1½ hrs until they begin to turn golden, then flip over. If they don’t lift off the paper easily, bake for another 10 mins before turning.
  2. Bake for 1 hr until dark golden with no visible patches of moisture. Leave to cool on the tray. They should crisp up after 5 mins cooling. If they don't, return the tray to the oven for 15 mins or until crisp. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Tip: Try baking these while you're using the oven for another dish to cut down on energy usage.
