Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced thinly
- 1 medium carrot, sliced thinly
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for coating)
- A pinch of dried parsley (optional, for flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Slice the zucchini and carrot into thin, even slices. Using a mandoline can help ensure uniform thickness.
- Optional: Place the slices in a bowl and lightly coat with olive oil to help make the chips a bit crispier.
- Lay the zucchini and carrot slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 2-2.5 hours, or until the chips are completely dried out and crispy. Check them periodically to prevent burning.
- Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool completely before serving them to your dog.
Notes
- Ensure even slicing for consistent cooking.
- Baking at a low temperature for a longer time ensures the chips become crispy without burning.
- Store the chips in an airtight container; they should last for a week at room temperature or longer in the fridge.
- Feel free to experiment with other dog-safe veggies and herbs for variety.
