Directions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the banana then slice as thinly as possible with a knife. Do your best to keep the thickness consistent.
Gently toss the slices in coconut oil and cinnamon. Arrange in an even layer on the baking sheet then bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping at the halfway point. ( Note: chips are done when they start to brown around the edges.)
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a baking rack lined with a paper towel to soak up any excess oil. Enjoy!
Notes: Store in an airtight container at room temperature and last 1-2 days. If they get soggy, you can make them crispy again by placing them in the oven at 350 degrees F for 5-10 minutes.
