Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel them. (optional to peel)
- Cut the sweet potatoes into thin strips or slices. You can make them as thin or thick as you prefer, keeping in mind that thicker slices will take longer to cook.
- Place the sweet potato slices on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out and not touching each other.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 2-3 hours. The low temperature allows the sweet potatoes to dehydrate slowly, creating chewy treats. Check on them periodically to prevent burning.
- Once the sweet potato chewies are firm and chewy, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Adjust the cooking time based on your desired chewiness. Longer baking times result in a chewier texture.
- Always check with your veterinarian before introducing new treats into your pet's diet to ensure they are suitable for their health.
