Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and washed
- Optional: 1 teaspoon olive oil (skip for low-fat version)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for slow baking the green beans evenly and thoroughly.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Arrange Green Beans: Spread the green beans evenly on the lined baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap so they crisp up properly.
- Optional Oil Toss: If using olive oil, lightly toss the green beans in the teaspoon of olive oil to add a hint of flavor and help with crisping.
- Bake: Bake the green beans in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, flipping them once halfway through the baking time to ensure even drying and crispiness.
- Check Crispiness: Remove the green beans from the oven when they are crispy and dry to the touch—this ensures a perfect crunchy texture for your dog.
- Cool Down: Let the green bean crunchies cool completely on a wire rack or baking sheet before storing them.
- Store Properly: Store the cooled green bean crunchies in an airtight container. Keep refrigerated for up to 1 week or freeze for longer shelf life.
Notes
- Skipping the olive oil makes this treat lower in fat for dogs with sensitive diets.
- Ensure green beans are completely dry and crispy before storing to maintain freshness and crunch.
- Always check with your vet before introducing new treats to your dog’s diet.
- These treats are intended as occasional snacks and should not replace a balanced dog food diet.
- Consider slicing green beans thinner if you want quicker baking time and crispier texture.
