Dehydrator Green Bean Crisps // Summer Snack Series

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.
