Homemade Banana Chips

I've been on a tear lately - loving banana chips but irritated because 99% of the banana chips offered for sale in the US are actually processed in the Philippines, and most brands have added sugar and cook the chips in coconut oil. While this makes for a really crispy chip; it really negates ( in my mind ) some of the healthier characteristics I'd like my banana chips to have. Coconut oil has its place. My banana chips isn't one of them.

This method produces a much crispier chip than putting them on the dehydrator - I've tried!
