Steps:
- Wash the bananas well.
- Slice the top and bottom off the bananas remove the peels. Scrape the white part off the inside of the peels with a spoon.
- Shred the peels with a fork and cut them into 2 to 3 inch-long pieces. Transfer to a bowl and add the olive oil, paprika, chili powder, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin. (It's important not to add salt yet, I found they got super salty if I added it now). Mix well and set aside to marinate while you prepare your coleslaw.
- Heat a pan over medium heat and add the shredded banana peels. Add a small splash of water to help them steam and tenderize.
- The cooking time will depend on how ripe your bananas are (the riper they are the faster they cook) so start tasting after a couple of minutes. It's important that they are tender enough to bite through but not so overcooked that they turn to mush. They should be done in around 5 - 10 minutes more or less. Add another splash of water and keep cooking if the pan goes dry before they are tender.
- Add the barbecue sauce and give them another 30 seconds to a minute more to incorporate the flavour. Add a pinch of salt to taste. Remove from the heat and let cool for a minute.
- Pile the banana peels on your bun and top with your coleslaw. Serve immediately.

- 2. You can use bananas as fertilizer, either by putting them directly into your composter like I do, or by cutting them into little pieces and mixing them in the soil. Bananas are great for plants because they are rich in phosphorous and potassium.
- 3. Rubbing the inside of a banana peel onto your brown leather shoes is a great way to clean them and keep them shiny. Also works for non-leather shoes.
- 4. The potassium in banana peels can cure you of warts in less than 2 weeks.
- 5. By gargling with water and salt, and then rubbing a mixture of banana peels onto your teeth for about 2 weeks, they will get significantly whiter.
- 6. If you fall and get a scrape on your knee or elbow, the oil in a banana skin is the all-natural way to make the pain go away.
- 7. A banana hair conditioner on Care2 says that if you mix bananas, cream and honey together, you have an excellent way to restore damaged and dry hair.
- 8. If you get a splinter that is deeply embedded into your skin, tape the banana peel over the splinter and the enzymes will both take the splinter out and heal the wound.

- Polish Your Shoes. Forget about messy shoe polish. Banana peels are an all-natural way to keep your leather or faux-leather shoes shiny and sparkling. All you have to do is rub the inside of the peel on your shoes and be amazed when the scuffs disappear into thin air.
- Moisturize Your Feet. Banana peels are rich with amino acids and vitamins A, B, C and E, which all work wonders on dry, itchy skin. Give your cracked heels and tired toes and boost by rubbing the inside of the peel on your soles and any other dry areas.
- Reduce Undereye Puffiness. There’s a reason so many beauty and skin products are made with banana or banana peel tincture. Bananas are great for brightening and softening skin because they’re loaded with moisturizing vitamin E, which is known to help fade dark spots and scars.
- Soothe Bug Bites. It’s a home remedy that never gets old. It’s also pretty much foolproof, considering banana peels are naturally loaded with polysaccharides, which are famous for reducing swelling and inflammation.
- Treat Acne. Why does it work? Banana peels are naturally packed with lectin and zinc, which according to Cosmopolitan have antibacterial traits that can help problem spots heal faster and even prevent new ones from showing up in the first place.
- Remove Warts. Banana peels can help relieve pain and inflammation (that includes psoriasis, bruises and cuts too). And some say it’s helped them get rid of warts, since moisture-packed bananas can help soften the wart while the peel’s enzymes will penetrate the bump to its root.
- Shine and Fertilize Plants. If your indoor plants are looking a little lackluster, we’ve got just the solution. Dust can make it harder for photosynthesis to occur, but a quick rub of its leaves with the inside of a banana peel can bring it back to life.
- Remove Splinters. Some splinters are a cinch to take out. But if you have a teary kid with a near-microscopic sliver of wood stuck deep in his hand, it can be a serious challenge.
- Whiten Teeth. A professional teeth whitening can cost you thousands of dollars at the dentist's office. But did you know the naturally occurring minerals found in banana peels—like potassium, magnesium and manganese— are ripe for removing stains on tooth enamel?
- Cook with Them. Banana peels are the secret to moist meat. If you’re cooking something super tender and juicy like pot roast, just add a ripe banana peel or two to the bottom of the roasting pan before cooking.

- No more acne. Many people have problems with acne, you try many doctors and many recipes but nothing seems to ever work and you just give up and start covering up the problem with makeup instead of curing it.
- No more wrinkles. Are you looking for a miraculous anti-aging elixir? You want to stay young with a beautiful skin forever? We all do, but unfortunately, we all need to grow old at some point and we all need to accept that truth but that doesn’t mean we can’t take care of our skin and prevent it from aging quickly.
- Tarnished silver? Use banana peels. Do you have some old jewelry that you used to love and wear all the time but now it’s all tarnished and it lost its shine and luster?
- Say goodbye to splinters. Splinters… The worst feeling in the world, when you have a small piece of glass or wood stuck in your skin and you can’t get it out, that’s pure torture for any human being.
- Easy composting. If you have your own garden at home and you like plants, then this tip is for you. Instead of throwing banana peels in the trash, try adding them to your compost pile.
- Whiten your teeth. If you want natural white teeth at home without the need to go to a dentist and pay money for it, there are many recipes you could try but banana peels have been proven to be one of the most efficient ones because they’re rich in potassium.
- No more scars. We all have scars, some visible and some are in places you never even thought about, accidents happen and it’s completely normal. Stop buying all those products that promise you that the scar will vanish like it was never there because that’s never going to happen unless with intense medical treatment.
- No more migraines and headaches. If you’re suffering from migraines and headaches and you want a simple and natural solution for it, banana peels are the solution for your problem.
- Tenderize meat. If you want compliments from your friends on the juicy steak they just ate for dinner, just add a ripe banana peel to the roasting pan with your steak before throwing it in the oven.
- No more itchiness. Itchy skin in the middle of the night? Apply a banana peel on the itchy skin and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. It will stop the itchiness because it contains histamine, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin E. All those nutrients relieve itching from poison ivy or mosquito bites.

- Blend Them Into Smoothies. Smoothies, which we like to refer to as "60-second nutrition," make the perfect addition to any weight loss plan—especially for time-strapped dieters who struggle to eat enough produce.
- Use One to Keep Your Meat Tender. Whether you're roasting or grilling your favorite protein, topping it with a ripe banana peel can help to keep your meat moist and tender as it cooks.
- Brew Banana Tea. If you're an avid Eat This, Not That! reader, you likely know that we're big fans of tea. Although there are so many fat-burning teas to choose from—from green tea and rooibos to mint and lavender—we always love to learn about new, trending varieties like banana tea, which is said to aid sleep.

6 SURPRISING USES OF BANANA PEELS | FOOD MATTERS®
From foodmatters.com
- Makes Delicious ‘Facon’ One of the most unassuming plant-based alternatives to bacon is the often-disregarded banana peel. If you’re someone who gets a little grossed out by the stringy parts of bananas, then maybe this isn’t the fake meat for you - but it’s worth considering for the nutritional value of the peels alone.
- Accelerates Wart Healing Process. One of the handiest, easiest pieces of advice my GP ever gave me was using banana peels to help address warts. You simply slice a small square of the peel, place it on the wart with the fleshy side down, and hold it in place with a sticky plaster or tape.
- Good for Acne & Inflammation. The same nutrient-packed reasons why we love bananas for our internal health, may be the answer to our external health. Acne is a condition that impacts as many as 1 in 10 people, with many never getting on top of it from tricky teenage years well into adulthood.
- Addresses Wrinkles. If your skin is on the other side of puberty, a banana peel treatment may still be the answer. Wrinkles begin to occur when the skin loses elasticity and firmness, which happens to us all with age.
- Helps to Remove Splinters. Splinters can be tricky to remove, not to mention painful, especially when they’re embedded quite far into the layers of the skin.
- Adds Concentrated Nutrients to Soil. Because banana peels are packed with all sorts of incredible nutrients that can address viruses and reduce inflammation, they can also do wonders for your soil.
