Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for extra crispness)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for slow baking that will evenly dry out the green beans.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Arrange Green Beans: Spread the fresh green beans evenly on the parchment-lined sheet to ensure they bake consistently and become crispy.
- Bake: Bake the green beans for 2 to 3 hours, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to promote even dehydration and crunchiness.
- Cool: Remove the green beans from the oven once they are dry and crispy. Allow them to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Olive oil is optional; omit it if you prefer a fat-free treat.
- Ensure the green beans are completely dry before storing to maintain crispness and prevent spoilage.
- Store the crunchies in an airtight container to keep them fresh longer.
- These treats are intended for dogs and should be given in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
- If you don’t have an oven, a dehydrator can be used as an alternative for drying the green beans.
