Raw banana slices in a slow cooker

Cooking raw (green) banana slices in a slow cooker gives you a soft, mildly sweet, almost potato-like texture—great for both savory and lightly sweet dishes.

Here are two easy approaches depending on what you’re going for:

• Raw bananas can darken—this is normal.

• Add chickpeas or potatoes for a more filling dish.
