Delicious dog treats with just two ingredients.
Green Bean Crunchies are healthy dog treats that are ideal for adult dogs, especially overweight dogs. Dogs love these crunchies and you’ll love that there are only two ingredients, both which are superfoods. Green beans are an excellent source of vitamins, A, C, and E, as well as fiber, potassium, and magnesium. Dogs thrive on antioxidant-rich foods such as green beans. Olive oil is another superfood that has many health benefits for dogs. This antioxidant helps to give dogs more energy, improve their immune system, and reduce dry skin. Green Bean Crunchies are a good choice when giving a treat to overweight dogs. Be sure to use portion control when giving your dog any type of treats or biscuits.
NOTE: Check with your veterinarian before making any changes to your pet’s diet. Also, please be aware of any allergies your pet may have to specific ingredients and avoid ingredients which have caused reactions in your pets in the past. If you are unsure about a specific ingredient found in one of our recipes, introduce the food to your pets in small amounts first. Doggie Green Bean Crunchies are intended as a special treat and should not be served as a meal or on a daily ongoing basis.

I don't have a dog but I'm going to make these for myself. Sounds yummy.
I’m going to make these 2day, I’m sure Capone will love them, thanks so much for sharing ??♀️♥️?
I've never had my oven on overnight…it scares me a little
then do it during the day!
Any idea how long you can store these?
Philomena, I recommend up to 10 days. As long as they are thoroughly dried and crispy, 10 days should be fine. My dog usually eats them within a week. 🙂
should the beans be defrosted first?
Estelle, Thawing the beans first is best, yes. We have clarified this in the recipe, thank you!
Can an air fryer be used?
Mandy, We haven’t tried this recipe in an air fryer yet. Let us know if you do.
I’ve got some going in my air fryer right now. Set it at 370 for 45 min, so hoping that’s a good guess. Shaking the basket frequently as you would when cooking fries. Seems to be going well so far. Ok, so they’re done. I opened the basket to shake& decided to stop after 20 min. They were dried & browning. In future I’ll do the oven method or go lower on the temp in the AF so they don’t brown as much. They smell pretty good! Lol!
Bobbi, Thank you for the comment. Let us know how you dog liked them. 🙂
I cooked mine frozen and they came out fine. I only had to cook for a few hours. My dog loved them.
Where is the recipe?
We’re working on the issue now. So sorry, should have a solution soon.
I’d like to use fresh whole green beans and use my dehydrator. Will the recipe be the same? Thanks!
Kim, A dehydrator should work fine. Just be sure the beans are crunchy and not chewy. 🙂
If I use a dehydrator do I still toss them in olive oil?
Sarah, You can toss them in olive oil if you use a dehydrator, but you do not have to.
My dog loves FROZEN green beans…same benefits as this treat without the added calories of olive oil or the oven time. I buy the Costco organic frozen green beans because they are organic AND they thick and long. My dog is a pet assisted therapy dog and a hit with all the patients is when they feed my dog frozen green beans. Lots of smiles.
HI……I assume it’s ok to use coconut oil ? Love making my own healthy treats.
Carol, Coconut oil will also work. I’m so happy you make homemade treats. 🙂
Mine have been in about 4 hours now and they seem really oily. I wonder if it would be better with 1t instead. We shall see when they are done.
Cynthia, They shouldn’t be oily once done. How did they turn out?
I am trying this recipe as I write this comment, for my granddog Macy. Thank you!
Tammy, Ahhhh…you’re a nice grandmother! 🙂
I used my dehydrater over night but the beans look super scrawny and skinny. I blanched them and then dried. Is there another step I need to add? I only added a small amount of olive oil, no salt.
Kristy, I don’t think so. I didn’t blanch my green beans and use the oven since it seems to produce a crispier green bean.
Hi- about how long do these stay good when properly sealed in an airtight container? Thanks ever so!
Karin, My crunchies were fine for over a week, about 8 days. With three dogs that don’t last long. -:))
Be sure they get to the crunchy stage and aren’t still chewy. Our dogs love them when they are really crunchy but won’t eat them if they are too soft.
Thank you SO much! I feed mine green beans daily, but was looking for something quicker and easier when they go to “doggy camp”. I am grateful for your response!
Ahhhhh….yes perfect for doggy camp. 🙂
