Bananas with Sal y Limon

Sal y Limon can be roughly translated to "Salt and Limon". 

Today I got a craving for my favorite Costa Rican snack, "Platanos Con Sal y Limon". I ate my weight in Platanos con sal y limon while I was in Costa Rica. Also cookies, I ate my weight in those. It's a long story, I was on a small budget and I spent it all on expensive lattes. Neither here nor there.

My first tip is to anticipate the craving of this snack BEFORE it occurs, that way you don't have to wait in sheer torture the entire 2 hours that the bananas are slow roasting at 200 degrees, teasing your taste buds with an ever so slight aroma of sweet platanos in the air while you are day dreaming of doing yoga overlooking the pacific eating massive amounts of sal y limon chips in a hammock con una cerveza. Pura Vida.  

Ingredients
1 Banana 
Salt 
Limon 

Directions
Spray pan with PAM (or whatever hippie ingredient you want) 
Slice banana
Drizzle Lemon Juice
Sprinkle Salt like a Chef
Bake @ 200 for the longest two hours of your life

Word to the wise: These are not crispy. But I find them even more delicious this way. 




XOXO,
Chef Emily
