Ultra thin vegetable and fruit crisps

[brandonscott]

In this link http://www.popsci.com/diy/article/2008-07/...-not-just-jelly there are paper thin banana crisps but no recipe. Any ideas???? Maybe make a banana puree first and then dehydrate.....not sure though, maybe citric acid to prevent browning. Help.

Perhaps a starchy banana is used versus the generic eating banana we see here in the U.S.

They used pulverized banana chips and egg white to make the crisps. Spread it thin and dehydrate. He mentioned it on their Ideas in Food blog in a post about the sliced chocolate. No specific recipe was given but it should be easy enough to work out from there.

So...robot coupe regular old, trail mix style banana chips to a fine powder. Whip up whites, mix together, spread thin and dry. This seem right

I'm guessing they probably didn't whip the whites, just add enough to get a spreadable paste. Whipping would give you more of a banana meringue thing. It's also entirely possible they added additional flavor elements but he didn't mention any in the post.
