1. Preheat your oven to 200°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—low temperature is crucial for perfect dehydration.
2. Wash and trim both ends of green beans, ensuring they’re completely dry before coating.
3. Toss beans in olive oil until evenly coated but not greasy—your dog will start investigating the vegetable prep excitement.
4. Arrange in single layer on baking sheet with no overlapping for even dehydration.
5. Sprinkle with tiny pinch of salt if desired, then bake 2-3 hours until crispy—if your pup can wait for vegetable chips!
6. Cool completely before serving to achieve perfect crispiness and prevent burned tongues.

Notes:

• Always let cool completely—properly dried beans should snap when bent
• Amber prefers these completely crispy for maximum satisfying crunch
• Check every 30 minutes after first hour to prevent over-browning

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight containers up to one month at room temperature
• Properly dehydrated beans maintain crispiness throughout storage
• Perfect for portion-controlled snacking and weight management
