Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Fresh beets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the beets. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the beets into very thin, even slices, about 1/16-inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the beet slices with olive oil, ensuring all slices are evenly coated.
Spread the beet slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Avoid overlapping to ensure they cook evenly.
Sprinkle sea salt, ground black pepper, and dried thyme evenly over the beet slices.
Bake the beet chips in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then carefully flip each slice using tongs. Continue baking for another 20-25 minutes or until they are crisp and dry, watching closely to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the beet chips cool on the sheets for 5 minutes; they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Once fully cooled, transfer the beet chips to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place for up to one week.
