Can I make these without a dehydrator?

Absolutely, Use your oven at its lowest temperature (usually around 170°F) with the door slightly open. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and flip the banana coins halfway through - they'll take about 4-5 hours this way.

How do I know when they're done?

They should feel dry to the touch but still pliable - think fruit leather texture. If they snap instead of bending, you've gone too far (but hey, banana crisps are tasty too). If you are curious about the science behind drying fruit, you can look into resources detailing food preservation methods.

Why are mine sticking together?

You probably overcrowded the trays. Give each coin some personal space while drying. If they stick after storing, toss them with a tiny bit of cornstarch - works like magic.

Can I use green bananas?

I wouldn't recommend it - they won't be nearly as sweet. Wait until those yellow skins get some brown speckles for the best "natural candy" flavor.
