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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the beet slices with olive oil, ensuring all slices are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the beet slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Avoid overlapping to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle sea salt, ground black pepper, and dried thyme evenly over the beet slices.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once fully cooled, transfer the beet chips to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place for up to one week.
