    Dehydrator Green Bean Crisps // Summer Snack Series

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Need a savory snack to satisfy your afternoon sweet tooth?  You've gotta try these dehydrator green bean crisps.  So so easy and so addicting. I am hooked on dehydrator foods lately.  You need to check out our Raspberry Peach Fruit Leather? Or our Apple Chips?  My kids go crazy over them!!

    USING A DEHYDRATOR

    I hate to admit it, but my dehydrator sat in the box for nearly a year before I used it.  I was really intimidated and by it.  But once I tried a few things out I was hooked.  I love the preservative free snacks that my kids devour. It feels so much better to give my kids snacks made at home than something from a package.

    I bought my green beans already trimmed in a big bag from Costco. I rinsed them with some cool water and added a tiny sprinkle of salt and I transferred them to my dehydrator, but a baking sheet lined with parchment and a low temp oven will do the trick too!

    The green beans take about 6 hours to dry and then tossed with a tiny bit of olive oil.  So so yummy.  And healthy.  Not one ounce of guilt for indulging in a bowl of these in the afternoon. They are the perfect replacement for a cracker or chip.

    Next I'm going to try homemade jerky, or maybe homemade poupurie. I've even done really thinly sliced citrus and I love them!  I leave the peel on and they are tart and sweet and crunchy - definitely a fav.  If you find your dehydrator intimidating, I really encourage you to give it a whirl.

      How to get them crunchy? I tried this and they are chewy. I had them in my Nesco dehydrator at 135 degrees for 12 hours! I started with fresh beans from the garden. Tossed them out. Too chewy.

        Hi, I'm sorry these didn't turn out for you. They are slightly chewy. Some fruits and veggies don't become crisp like a chip.
