Simple Zucchini Chips Recipe for Dogs
These crunchy zucchini chips are made by baking fresh zucchini slices until they are crispy. The process takes about an hour, and they serve as a great snack that your dog can enjoy guilt-free.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced thinly
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste, can be omitted for dogs)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, ensure it’s safe for your dog)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, can be omitted)
Instructions
- Prep the Zucchini: Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Wash and slice the zucchinis into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Season the Slices: Toss the zucchini slices in a bowl with olive oil and seasonings if using, ensuring each piece is coated evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the zucchini chips are crisp and dry. Check periodically to avoid burning.
- Cool and Store: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
