What you need:

• Sweet potato, any size
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Directions:

• Cut a flat side off the sweet potato. 
• Then, make 3-4 lengthwise cuts form this. 
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
• Turn the pieces over.
• Bake another 10-15 minutes.
• Let cool. The longer they cool, the harder and chewier they become.

No need to worry about over-baking. The chews will darken, but will hold their color unless they burn. But even then, dogs will still enjoy them with burnt edges.

Sweet potato dog treats provide vitamins A and C for your dog, which are necessary for healthy eyes, skin and gums.
