Ingredients:
Fresh, ripe bananas (yellow with minimal brown spots)
Lemon juice (optional, for color preservation)
Airtight containers or vacuum-seal bags
Freezer-safe labels
Freezer (deep freezer recommended for long-term storage)
Instructions:
Peel the Bananas: Start with clean hands and workspace. Peel each banana and discard the skins.
Slice or Leave Whole: Depending on how you plan to use them later, slice the bananas into rounds or leave them whole.
Optional Lemon Dip: If you want to prevent browning, lightly dip the banana slices in lemon juice. This step is optional but helps preserve the color.
Pre-Freeze: Lay bananas on a parchment-lined tray in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch. Freeze for 2–3 hours until firm.
Seal for Storage: Transfer the frozen bananas into airtight containers or vacuum-seal bags. Label with the date.
