Directions
** Before starting, make sure whole bananas are washed thoroughly (just like with any other fruit or vegetable) before cutting or processing in any way.
- Scrape inside of fresh banana peels with a spoon to remove the starchy white part; discard.
- Whisk soy sauce, syrup, paprika, garlic powder and lemon juice, if desired, in a large bowl. Add banana peels and toss; cover and let stand 30 minutes.
- Remove banana peels from soy sauce mixture; discard marinade. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add banana peels, in 2 batches, and cook 5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp or until they reach an internal temperature of 165F, turning once; transfer to paper towel-lined plate.
- Toast bread. Spread mayonnaise over 4 bread slices; top with tomato, arugula, Banana Peel Bacon and remaining 4 bread slices.
