I'm writing this part that everyone will skip but I need to write it for google. Parrot handmade food is a great way to add nutrition to your parrots' diet in fun and creative ways. In this recipe, you will use colorful veggies to add to your flour mix giving the appearance of confetti, now how fun is that. Handmade parrot food is the only way to ensure your parrots get the best food. A lot of baked items contain sugars or salts, which will create problems. I try to keep my parrot recipes easy, with few items, or even easily adaptable. And of course one bowl recipes. No need to bring the whole kitchen into this.
Ingredients:
1 cooked sweet potato, mashed
1 1/2 cup flour: ( use anyone kind, I always do a mix: 1/2 quinoa, 1/2 coconut, 1/2 rye) or any other flour I have on hand. A mix always makes the dough come together better than just one type of flour.)
2 to 3 cups of Veggies: Carrots, Red Cabbage, Beet tops, Swiss Chard, and Butternut Squash add to a food processor and chop into small pieces.
1/4 cup of apple sauce
1/2 tsp: Cinnamon
1/2 tsp: Red Chill Flakes
Direction:
Oven Temperature: 350
Cookie sheet greased with coconut oil or olive oil (just need a little to prevent sticking)
Mix all the ingredients together. It should form a tough dough. Then use a scoop to get an even amount of dough and make it into a flat disk. Place on the cookie sheet. Bake for 25 minutes. Serve with additional veggies or fruits to make it into a full meal.
