    Green Beans as Crunchy as potatoe chips. Anyone know how to make them

    HI … I’ve recently tasted the most delicious food. Crunchy green beans. My husband and I found them at a farm stand by the side of the road.

    Trader Joes has something like this too: Go the trader joe site and type in crunchy green beans and you'll be able to see how they look.

    I asked the gal selling them how they were made and she said First they were dehydrated, them sprayed with canola oil, and lightly Salted and then baked at 350 for 5-10 minutes.

    They were not all shriveled up … they were almost the same size as they were When they went into to oven… they were as crispy as a potato chip.

    Does anyone know how to make these? If not do you have any sources I might Go to? I’ve looked for hours online.

    I have your Excalibur dehydrator … the 9 tray one.


    The farm girl did say they use a commercial dehydrator. Would that be any different temperature wise?

    By the way ... they were very expensive. $3.00 for about 3oz.

    I would love to know. I tried myself and they were all sorts of NASTY! If I ever figure it out I'll post it.

    Hi,

    I went to ask.com and typed in crunchy green beans and here is what came up.Crunchy Green Beans (Missing french fries?) : Salads Veggies & Side Dishes : Active Low-Carber Forums Maybe this will help. No dehydrator, but goes in the oven longer

    i had them once at TGIF only they were fresh green beans dipped in a batter served with a creamy wasabi sauce.
    11% gross to retirement
    10% takehome to tithe and offerings
    emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
    credit card debt 7500
    mortgage free
    freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
    then live on the rest!

    i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.

    Now you have me curious. I see them at the grocery store and have wondered how they taste. Will try them now. Will be nice to have another snack since I can't eat potato chips which I really used to love!
