Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized Fresh beets
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C), and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel the skins using a vegetable peeler.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Place the beet slices in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the slices and toss gently to ensure even coating.
Step 5
Spread the beet slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap to allow for even baking.
Step 6
Sprinkle the slices with salt and, if using, black pepper for added flavor.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
