Dehydrating green beans is a simple and budget-friendly way to stock your pantry with this tasty, and versatile vegetable. This guide will show you everything you need to know to get started!
Prep and blanch the green beans. Remove as much moisture as possible by using a salad spinner or pouring the beans out on a cookie sheet covered with dish towel and then patting them dry.
Spread the beans over a lined dehydrator tray in a single layer. Load the trays into the dehydrator. Set the the dehydrator to 135 °F. if your dehydrator has a temperature control setting. If not just turn it on.
Set a timer for 8 to 12 hours.
Every couple of hours rotate the trays to get even drying. The pieces will feel very hard and crisp when done. Cool to room temperature,
then transfer them to glass
jars to condition.
Place the jars in a dark cabinet to condition for 1 week. Shake the jar once a day. If any dampness is seen return to the dehydrator and process for another hour until completely dried. Store in airtight containers once properly dried.
