Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the beets to remove any dirt and outer skin. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to slice the beets into very thin rounds, about 1/16 inch thick.
Place the beet slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat well, ensuring each slice is lightly coated with oil for even baking.
Arrange the beet slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap as this will prevent them from crisping up properly.
Sprinkle the beet slices with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting according to preference.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes, or until the beet chips are dry and crispy. Keep a close eye on them during the last 10 minutes of baking as they can burn quickly.
Once done, remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the beet chips to cool completely on the sheets. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve the beet chips immediately, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
