Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds fresh green beans (or frozen, thawed and patted dry)
  • olive oil cooking spray (optional, for extra crispiness)

Method
 

  1. Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim both ends with kitchen shears or a sharp knife. Pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Preheat your oven to its lowest setting, typically 170-200°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Spread the green beans in a single layer on the baking sheets, making sure they don't overlap.
  4. Optional: For extra-crunchy results, lightly mist the beans with olive oil cooking spray.
  5. Bake for 3-4 hours, rotating the pans halfway through. They're ready when they snap cleanly when bent and sound hollow when tapped.
  6. Let the green bean crunchies cool completely on the baking sheets before storing.

Notes

Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months. Don't rush the drying process with high heat as this creates tough textures. Never add salt, garlic, or onion powder which are toxic to dogs. Can be made in dehydrator at 135°F for 6-8 hours instead of oven.
