Has anyone dehydrated bananas? I'm looking for real experience, including failures (what doesn't work)

Big question is whether or not acidulated soak is required before drying?

I could try to get info from a search engine, but I don't know those folks, and I do know this crowd.

My husband bought a lot of bananas a few weeks ago, but didn’t get around to drying them. So, I froze them for future smoothies.

We’ve now situated the dehydrator in a more convenient place and will be using more; I’ll get him to try bananas this weekend, if we don’t get ‘hurricaned’.

I’ve used a dehydrator for bananas before, also did tomatoes and jerky. Tossing in oil would work but I would use spray oil on the drying racks. Less oil and I didn’t need to coat the food. When it’s time to flip the food the tops are so dry they do not stick.
