The Only Two Ingredients You Need
Yep—just two simple, wholesome ingredients:
Sweet Potatoes Dog Treats in Air Fryer: Ingredients You Need
1 medium to large sweet potato (about 250–300g)
A light drizzle of coconut oil (optional for added crispiness)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the sweet potato. Slice it thinly into either round chips or thin fry strips (no thicker than ¼ inch). You can also use a small flower-shaped cookie cutter for extra cuteness—or get creative and cut them into any shape you like!
Step 2
(Optional) Toss the slices lightly with coconut oil. This helps them crisp up, but you can skip it if your dog is on a low-fat diet.
Step 3
Place the slices in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
Air fry at 160°C / 320°F for 15–20 minutes , flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning—every air fryer is a little different!
Step 5
Let them cool completely before serving. They’ll continue to crisp as they cool!
