Description
Sweet Potato & Green Bean Chews for Dogs are a healthy, easy-to-make treat packed with nutrients and flavor. Perfect for pups of all sizes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 cup fresh or frozen green beans
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)
- A sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash the sweet potatoes and green beans thoroughly. Trim the ends off the green beans.
- Optional: Peel the sweet potatoes or leave the skin on for added fiber. Slice the sweet potatoes into long, thin strips (about ¼ inch thick).
- Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath. Pat dry.
- Lay the sweet potato slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 2-3 hours, flipping halfway through, until the slices are dry but pliable.
- Once partially dried, place one or two blanched green beans lengthwise on each sweet potato slice and gently press or wrap the sweet potato around the green beans.
- Optional: Lightly sprinkle turmeric powder, brush with coconut oil, or add a touch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Place the assembled chews back into the oven or dehydrator for an additional 1-2 hours until fully dried.
- Let the chews cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for longer storage.
- Customize portion sizes based on your dog’s size and chewing preferences.
- Use fresh or frozen green beans; avoid canned green beans with added salt or preservatives.
