Green beans are essential healthy foods which preserve well when pickled and canned. But, did you know green beans make some tasty green dehydrator treats, too? They can be pretty pricey, so you’re better off making some on your own.

4. Watermelon Candy

Are you gaga for candies? Ditch the processed ones and make your own with this watermelon dehydrator recipe.  There’s no feat or fruit your dehydrator can’t take on, including watermelons!

7. Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower Popcorn

https://www.instagram.com/p/BbFRbVYFnsJ/?tagged=cauliflowerpopcorn

While popcorns are delightful treats, they can get boring sometimes so try this spicy buffalo cauliflower recipe instead. They are crunchy and spicy without all the grease of some popper recipes.

8. Veggie Chips

https://www.instagram.com/p/BjTHPvTA1lq/?tagged=veggiechips

If you have picky kids who swear against veggies, these colorful veggie chips can change their minds. Thinly slice carrots, zucchini, sweet potatoes, and the likes, dehydrate and serve up! This is one of the most common dehydrator vegetable recipes kids love for its eye-catching color.

9. 3-Ingredient Fruit Roll-Ups

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bf50jBenQ5j/?tagged=3ingredientfruitrollups

Store-bought candies and sweet treats are mostly made up of sugar which can be unhealthy. Luckily, dehydrator fruit recipes come to the rescue with sweet but healthy munchies in fruit roll-ups or leathers. This dehydrated fruit recipe is pretty nifty but you have more options for fruit leather recipes here.

10. Raw Avocado and Golden Flax Crackers

11. Marinated Dried Eggplant

It’s hard to find a substitute for bacon but this marinated and dried eggplant could work. Of course, it won’t be as greasy and meaty but it can be smokey and healthier − something vegans and even non-vegans will adore.

12. Cheesy Kale Crackers

https://www.instagram.com/p/5t8BGtq7jG/?tagged=kalecrackers

Cheesy crackers can take a toll on your calorie intake. Make it healthier with this healthy recipe. We know fresh green-leafy kale is one of the healthiest greens out there and mixing them in cookies is a good way to hide veggies for picky eaters.
