Instructions

• Preheat oven to 170°F (about 77°C).
• Put 16 ounces thawed, drained, cut green beans into a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss until the beans are evenly coated.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick baking sheet. Spread the beans in a single, even layer without crowding.
• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and dry the beans for about 8 hours, or until all beans are dry and crunchy. Check once or twice during drying and rotate the pan if needed for even drying.
• When the beans are crunchy, turn off the oven and remove the baking sheet. Let the beans cool completely on the baking sheet or a wire rack.
• Once fully cooled, transfer the crunchy green beans to an airtight container for storage.
