Ingredients
  • 1 lb beets (about 3-5 beets, depending on size)*
  • Olive oil and/or nonstick cooking spray
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder or other seasonings of choice, to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. If making roasted diced beets: dice beets in small cubes. Place on baking tray and coat with about 1 tablespoon olive oil and seasonings of choice. Roast in oven for about 30 minutes, or until tender.
  3. If making beet chips, use a mandolin (or slice very thinly with sharp knife) to slice beets very thinly and as uniformly as possible (I used the 1/16” setting on my mandolin). Place on baking tray (do not overlap). I have used both a nonstick pan and a silicone baking mat; they both work. Spray with nonstick spray** and seasonings of choice. Bake in oven for about 18-23 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, watching very closely so they don’t burn. Oven times will likely vary based on what oven you have and the thickness of your beet chips. These will slightly crisp up more once taken out of the oven as they cool.
Notes
*Recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, etc.
**VERY slightly spray chips, and I don't recommend using olive oil as too much oil will cause the chips to steam and not crisp up properly
