Bruce loves sweet potato chews, and they are one of my favorite treats to buy for him. Unfortunately, sometimes the cost keeps me from buying them as often as I (and he) would like. Then it occurred to me – they had to be fairly cheap and easy to make myself, right? I mean it’s one sweet potato, Michael. What could it cost? 10 dollars?
To make a batch of these for your pup, all you have to do is thinly slice a sweet potato about 1/4″-1/3″ thick, spread them out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake at 250° for about 3 hours. If you have a few too many slices it’s okay to overlap a bit; they will shrink during cooking and you can re-adjust them to fit. Be sure to flip them over about halfway through cooking, and keep a close eye on them during the last 30 minutes so they don’t burn. Your pup can enjoy these as soon as they are cool – feel free to taste-test them yourself, too! They’ll be on the crispier side the day of baking, but the chewiness kicks in after refrigeration. You can store these guys in the refrigerator for about 1 week.
Bon appetit!
