Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
Trim the tops and roots off the beets. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the skin off the beets carefully to avoid staining your hands (consider wearing gloves if desired).
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the beets into thin, uniform rounds, about 1/16 inch thick. Uniform slices are important for even cooking.
Place the beet slices into a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and sea salt, then gently toss until all slices are evenly coated.
Arrange the beet slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Avoid overlapping to ensure they bake evenly and crisp up properly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then check on them. Rotate the pans and flip the beet slices if necessary. Continue baking, checking every 10 minutes, until they are crispy and slightly curled at the edges, another 25 minutes.
Once crisp, promptly remove the beet chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets. They will continue to crisp up as they cool down.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
