Dried Sweet Potato Dog Treats Air Fryer

If you're a dog mom who loves spoiling your pup with wholesome snacks, you're going to love this one. Let me tell you how sweet potato dog treats became a favorite in our house—and why you’ll want to make a batch today using just your air fryer.

It all started with my sweet rescue pup, Luna — a gentle, floppy-eared golden mix with the world’s most sensitive tummy.

I remember the day I brought home a “natural” bag of store-bought treats, only to spend the night comforting Luna through stomach cramps and diarrhea. That was the moment I decided to take her treats into my own hands — literally. I wanted something I could feel proud of. Something simple. Something made with love.

That’s how these Dried Sweet Potato Dog Treats in the Air Fryer became a staple in our house. They’re soft enough for her to chew, healthy enough for me to trust, and made with a single ingredient. Luna goes crazy every time she hears the air fryer turn on — she knows.

You only need one star ingredient. Yep, just one — and you probably already have it in your kitchen.

✅ Ingredient List:

• 1–2 large sweet potatoes (organic if possible)

• Optional: a drizzle of olive or coconut oil

• Optional: sprinkle of Ceylon cinnamon or parsley (for breath)

That’s it. No flour. No additives. And definitely no xylitol (always double-check ingredients if you use peanut butter or seasoning!).

Sweet potatoes are basically nature’s multivitamin in treat form:

• ✅ High in fiber – supports healthy digestion

• ✅ Rich in beta-carotene (Vitamin A) – great for eyes and immunity

• ✅ Vitamin C & B6 – helps with energy and metabolism

• ✅ Low-fat & low-calorie – perfect for pups watching their weight

• ✅ Natural sweetness – no sugar needed

These are especially helpful for dogs with food sensitivities or allergies.

Want to give these your own twist? Try these ideas:

• Use purple sweet potatoes for color and extra antioxidants

• Add a light brush of peanut butter (xylitol-free) on top before serving

• Slice lengthwise for longer chews or use cookie cutters for shapes

• Mix in pumpkin purée and freeze them for summer pops

Keep it natural and simple — that’s what dogs love most!

Luna knows the sound of the knife hitting the cutting board. She waits by my feet as I slice each sweet potato, tail gently thumping. I always give her one raw piece — her "chef’s sample" — and she licks my hand like I’ve just given her filet mignon.

There’s something beautiful about taking 10 minutes out of the day to make something just for her. No screens, no noise. Just us.

Let the treats cool completely before storing.

🧊 For Storage:

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks

• Or freeze for up to 3 months

• To thaw: just leave on the counter for 10 minutes, or serve frozen for teething pups!

Pro tip: Add a paper towel in the container to absorb moisture and keep the texture chewy.

Too hard?
→ Slices may be too thick or overcooked. Try 1/8 inch next time or reduce cooking time.

Too soft?
→ Add more time at low temp to dry them out. Let them cool completely before judging texture.

Uneven cooking?
→ Make sure slices are even and laid flat. Flip halfway through.

These Dried Sweet Potato Dog Treats Air Fryer style chews aren’t just snacks — they’re little moments of care. They remind me that being a dog mom is about the tiny things we do that say “I love you” without needing to say a word.

Luna doesn’t care that they’re homemade. But I do. Because I know what’s in them. And I know the joy they bring her tail.

So if you're looking for something simple, healthy, and made with love , these Dried Sweet Potato Dog Treats Air Fryer recipe is the perfect place to start. 🧡
