For this recipe I use my PowerXL Air Fryer Oven and the three dehydrating trays that come with it.

Using unbleached parchment paper, cut to size so that it fits the drying rack trays and set aside.

Remove sliced liver from packaging. Rinse under cool water and shake off excess water.

Place meat on cutting board and using a sharp knife, carefully cut liver into pieces and place on unbleached parchment paper covered drying trays. Space pieces apart so they are not touching each other.

Any extra liver that won’t fit on all the trays place in a baggie and put back into the refrigerator until ready to make the next batch. Use preferably within 24 hours.

Flash Bake

This next step is very important! Temperature is important when making jerky, not only for dogs but for human consumption too.

To make dehydrated meats safe for your dog or dogs it is very important to “flash bake” the meat first. The flash bake will rid the meats of any Salmonella and E. coli. Therefore, don’t skip this step because we don’t want any sick doggies.

To flash bake, place trays of meat in the Air Fryer Oven and bake liver at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.

Dehydrate

After the flash bake has completed click on the dehydrate icon. Turn the temperature between 130 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit and dehydrate meat for up to 8 hours.

Remove dried liver from trays and store in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to one week or can be placed in the freezer for up to two months.

Tip: Keep enough treats for one week in the refrigerator and place the rest in the freezer in separate baggies that will last for a week at a time.

Repeat process until all liver is dehydrated.

Use these treats as a reward, as a snack or tear into pieces and add to your dogs food.

Offer treats sparingly. I give at least 1 treat per day. I hope your fur baby enjoys these treats. Be sure to come back and thank me later. Wink Wink!
