What is the best way to freeze bananas?

Peel the banana and slice it into 1/2-inch slices. Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Place the banana slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze until solid, about 2 hours. After the bananas are frozen they can be transferred to a zip-top plastic freezer bag for later use.
