It has been a year since I mentioned this recipe on my blog but I brought it back this week after Rhett Butler’s pancreatitis attack- sweet potatoes are naturally no fat, so they are the perfect treat for our dog who also has food allergies to chicken and turkey. These are also good for puppies with grain allergies too- no corn or wheat here.
You’ll need some spare time, a baking sheet and two sweet potatoes peeled and sliced. Preheat your oven to 250° and cover your baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Arrange your sweet potato slices in an even layer: 
This time I sliced half moons, but in retrospect, I should have stuck to “stick” slices- they dry out more quickly. Once they are arranged, pop them in the oven for 3-4 hours, or until they have completely dried out but haven’t burnt. You don’t want any soft dark orange spots. A few of my larger pieces stayed too soft, so I let the dog eat them right away and tossed the rest, those will spoil. You want them to be nice and crunchy! 
Let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container. I’m partial to a glass jar, since I know Rhett Butler can’t find it and chew through it to get to the good stuff. 
Serve & watch your dog enjoy!
