Crispy Green Bean Chips
Crispy Green Bean Chips are a dehydrated or baked snack made by coating green beans with oil, salt, and nutritional yeast before drying them slowly until crisp. The process produces a crunchy, savory chip-like snack with the natural flavor of green beans enhanced by seasonings. The snack is rustic and not overly delicate.

Ingredients
- 5 pounds green beans (organic preferred)
- 1/3 cup neutral cooking oil melted coconut oil preferred, generic cooking oil
- 4 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (see Recipe Notes for substitutions)
Instructions
- Place green beans in a large bowl. If using frozen green beans, simply allow them to thaw in a bowl (optional - see notes below). If using fresh beans, you will need to blanch them first.
- Pour oil on top of beans. If using coconut oil, melt the oil first and work fast as the oils solidifies quickly if your room or beans are cold.
- Sprinkle seasonings on top of coated beans and stir well.
- Dry in dehydrator until crisp dry (about 10 - 12 hours at 125°F, or 8 hours at 135°F.) You can also bake in a low temperature oven. Spread the beans on a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan. Bake at 200 for 1 hour 15 minutes, then toss and bake for another hour, checking and tossing until done.
- Store in an airtight container.

Notes
- Beans need to be completely dry for crispness; removing them too soon results in chewy snacks.
- The visual appearance of chips is rustic; their flavor and texture are more important than looks.
- Both frozen and thawed beans work, but the coating oil solidifies quickly on cold beans so work fast.
- Fresh beans may require blanching prior to dehydrating to improve texture.
- If nutritional yeast is undesired, substitute with 1 teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder for seasoning.
