Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized Fresh beets
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C), and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel the skins using a vegetable peeler.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the beets into very thin rounds, about 1/16-inch thick, for uniform baking and crispiness.
Place the beet slices in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the slices and toss gently to ensure even coating.
Spread the beet slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap to allow for even baking.
Sprinkle the slices with salt and, if using, black pepper for added flavor.
Bake the chips in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, flip each chip and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chips have shriveled slightly and are crispy. Monitor closely during the last 5-10 minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
