Gee, I hope this works. Otherwise, she'll have green bean wallpaper in her kitchen.

I would switch to fresh or frozen green beans.

They're soggy because of the moisture. I saw Alton Brown make beef jerky once and you need to take the moisture out of that too. He used furnace filters and put the beef on there then strapped it to a fan. I'm not sure but this might work for beans too. Good luck!

I would think that baking them at a very high temperature would do it. Also, make sure that when you drain your beans from the can, you swirl them around in your lettuce spinner for several minutes. That will make sure that you've gotten all the water out.
