Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. Wash, peel and slice the beets with the mandolin.

Arrange parchment paper over two baking sheets

Brush each side of the sliced beets with the olive oil using a pastry brush

Arrange beets on the baking sheets (it’s okay if they touch since they really shrink up as they bake), and sprinkle with salt.

Bake for about 30 minutes on one side, then carefully flip the chips over and sprinkle with more salt if you'd like.

Continue to bake, checking them about every 10 minutes. They should be ready to remove when the edges of the chips turn dark and dry out, and the rest of the chip turns lighter.

Remove and cool on a wire rack. They’ll get crispier as they cool down.

It’s best to make these when you’re not distracted since you’ll need to check on them about every 10-15 minutes after their initial chunk of bake time. I served them with a homemade blue cheese dip using 1/2 cup of mayo, 1/2 cup of sour cream and crumbled blue cheese.
