Peel the Bananas: Always peel bananas before freezing. Freezing them with the skin can make it difficult to peel later.

Slice or Halve: You can either slice the bananas into ½-inch thick rounds or cut them in half. Slicing allows for quicker thawing and is convenient for smoothies.

Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Place the banana pieces in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Ensure they are not touching to prevent them from sticking together.
