1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—perfect for maintaining medallion shapes!
2. In a bowl, mix grated sweet potato, finely chopped parsley, whole wheat flour, and egg until well combined. The mixture should look vibrant with green parsley flecks throughout.
3. Scoop small portions and shape into medallions about the size of a large coin—the flat shape encourages proper chewing for dental benefits.
4. Place medallions on the prepared baking sheet with space between them for even baking.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until firm and slightly golden around the edges—sweet potato should be completely cooked through.
6. Allow to cool completely before serving—this step ensures the best texture and maximum parsley effectiveness!

Notes:

• Always let cool completely before serving for best texture and safety
• Amber prefers these with slightly crispy edges and tender centers for optimal chewing
• If mixture seems too wet, add flour gradually until it holds its shape

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 2 weeks
• Don’t refrigerate—that can make them soggy and reduce parsley effectiveness
• Freeze for up to 3 months in freezer bags to preserve herb benefits

What Makes This Recipe Special:

Sweet potatoes provide natural vitamins A and C plus fiber for digestive health, while fresh parsley contains chlorophyll that naturally neutralizes odors and freshens breath from the inside out. The medallion shape encourages healthy chewing that supports natural dental cleaning.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

Double Fresh: Add a tiny bit of fresh mint along with parsley for extra breath-freshening power and variety.

Beta-Carotene Boost: Include 1 tablespoon finely grated carrots for extra color, sweetness, and eye health benefits.

Senior Dental: Make slightly softer by reducing baking time by 5 minutes for easier chewing while maintaining dental benefits (perfect for 8-year-olds like Amber).
