Ingredients
- 8 oz ground beef
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 cup sweet potato puree
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup rice flour
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a skillet, heat the coconut oil on a medium heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned. Make sure there are no pink spots remaining. Drain any excess fat and let the beef cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, egg, sweet potato puree and fresh parsley. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Gradually add the rice flour to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until a dough forms. The dough should be firm but slightly sticky. If it’s too wet, add a bit more rice flour; if too dry, add a small amount of water.
- Place the dough in between two layers of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes, or simply cut the dough into small squares.
- Arrange the cut dough on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the treats are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Let the treats cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
