Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 medium zucchinis
- 1 tsp olive oil (optional)
- 1 tsp dried parsley (optional, for breath freshening)
- 1/2 tsp turmeric (optional, for anti-inflammatory benefits)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) or set your dehydrator to 135°F (57°C).
- Wash the zucchinis and slice them into 1/8-inch thick rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Lay the zucchini slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet or dehydrator tray in a single layer.
- If using, lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle with parsley or turmeric.
- Bake for 2-3 hours in the oven, or dehydrate for 6-8 hours, until the chips are crispy and fully dried.
- Allow the chips to cool completely before serving to your dog.
- Store in an airtight container for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a mandoline to ensure even, thin slices.
- Feel free to experiment with other dog-safe veggies like sweet potatoes or carrots!
- Always introduce new treats gradually to ensure your dog has no adverse reactions.
- If you prefer an air fryer, cook at 350°F for 10-15 minutes in small batches.
