Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups rice flour
• 1 cup cookedzucchini
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 6 tbsp low sodium, low-fat broth (we used vegetable broth, which makes this recipe great for dogs with allergies)
• 1/2 cups cold water
• Watch the video tutorial for instructions:

Instructions:

• Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine the rice flour and the dried parsley together in a large bowl.
• In another bowl, combine the zucchini, broth, and water. You want the zucchini well combined and squished in there, but not too mushy if that makes sense. If you look at the pictures, you’ll notice that there are still some chunks. It adds a nice texture. The best way to do this: mush up half the zucchini into the mix and chop the other half into tiny pieces, then combine.

• Gently mix the dry and wet ingredients.
• Knead the mix with your hands until it forms a dough.
• Using your hand or a spoon, scoop out balls of the mix, roll into treats, then flatten with your hand.
• Place them on a non-stick baking sheet or round cake pan.

• Bake for about 25 minutes.
• Store in an airtight container, and freeze any treats that your dog won’t consume within a week.

If zucchini isn’t in season or you find a great deal on another veggie, like winter squash or even carrots, you can substitute the zuke with those. You can also switch things up by using chicken or beef broth, as long as your dog doesn’t have allergies. Just keep in mind that these broths are higher in sodium, so if your dog has special medical concerns, you might want to stick with the low-sodium vegetable broth.
