Holiday Sweet Potato Casserole for Dogs

This nutritious recipe makes a delicious doggy meal mixer, stuffing for a holiday KONG toy, or freezes into cubes for a tasty treat-sicle anytime. Sweet potato is full of Vitamin A (beta-carotene), Vitamin C, and Vitamin B6, and is a healthy source of dietary fiber and beta-carotene. Carrots and apples are healthy dog treats on their own and add a natural sweetness to this recipe.

Beans are a great source of protein for dogs and people alike, as well as B vitamins, fiber, iron, folate, potassium, magnesium, and phytonutrients.

Scale

Ingredients

  • ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 2 large carrots
  • 1 apple
  • 1 can low-sodium drained and rinsed kidney beans (or prepared from dry to avoid excess sodium)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • OPTIONAL: 1 tsp turmeric & ½ tsp ginger

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º

Spread coconut flakes on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake until toasty brown, about 5-10 minutes.

Wash, peel, and roughly chop the sweet potatoes, carrot, and apple.

Steam the veggies until soft and then let cool enough to handle.

Rinse kidney beans for 2 minutes and drain to remove as much sodium as possible. (Prepared dried beans are a healthier alternative.)

Place the beans and veggies into a food processor and pulse to combine.

Drizzle in the coconut oil and add the spices and pulse until combined.

Plate up your casserole in a pretty serving dish, and sprinkle with toasted coconut to garnish.
