Description
Sweet Potato & Parsley Chews for Dogs are a healthy homemade treat packed with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants to boost your dog’s health while freshening their breath.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh curly parsley
- 1/4 cup oat flour (or any dog-safe flour)
- 1 large egg (optional for binding)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Wash, peel, and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks.
- Steam or boil the sweet potatoes until fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Mash the sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth, ensuring no lumps.
- Add the chopped curly parsley and oat flour to the mashed sweet potatoes and mix well.
- Optional: Add an egg for binding if the mixture is crumbly.
- Shape the mixture into small balls, rectangles, or press into cookie cutters for fun shapes.
- Place the shaped treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet with space between each one.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until firm but chewy, avoiding overbaking to maintain softness.
- Let the treats cool completely before serving to your dog.
Notes
- Store chews in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- For longer storage, freeze the chews and thaw as needed.
- Ensure you use curly parsley, not flat-leaf or spring parsley, which may be toxic to dogs.
- Adjust baking time for a softer or crunchier texture based on your dog’s preference.
