Ingredients
There’s only one ingredient in this recipe! All you need are frozen green beans!
Why frozen? Because they’re already blanched in the freezing process, which saves you the extra step of blanching before dehydrating. It’s a simple shortcut that makes the process even easier!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
If you’d rather use fresh green beans, you must blanch them first. This helps preserve their color, texture, and nutrients while improving their dehydrating process. To blanch fresh green beans:
- Boil a pot of water and drop the green beans in for 3 minutes.
- Immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Blot them dry with paper towels before dehydrating them.
How to Make Dehydrated Green Beans
Making these crunchy treats is as easy as laying them out and letting the dehydrator or oven do all the work! Here’s what to do:
Dehydrator Method
- Spread the frozen green beans in a single layer on a dehydrator tray.
- Set the dehydrator to 135°F and dehydrate for 5-6 hours, or until the beans are completely crispy.
- Remove the green beans from the dehydrator and let them cool completely before serving.

Oven Method
- Preheat your oven to the lowest setting, around 125°F.
- Lay the green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Dehydrate in the oven for 8-12 hours, or until crispy.
- Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.

Serving Size
How many dehydrated green beans should you give your pup? That depends on their size, activity level, and daily diet. Treats should never exceed 10% of your dog’s daily caloric intake to maintain a balanced diet.
The nutrition information in the recipe card is based on 1 ounce of green beans before dehydrating. Since the water is removed, the final volume of treats will be smaller, but they’ll still be packed with fiber and nutrients.
If you’re unsure about portion sizes, always check with your veterinarian, especially if your pup is on a specific diet plan.

How to Store Dehydrated Green Beans and How Long They Last
To keep these treats fresh and crispy, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
When stored properly, they can last 6 to 12 months. It’s perfect for making a big batch and having treats on hand for months to come!

Absolutely! These dehydrated green beans are 100% human-friendly and make a great crunchy snack. They’re naturally sweet and packed with fiber, making them a healthy alternative to chips or processed snacks. Give one a try and you might find yourself snacking on them just as much as your pup!
