Ingredients
Making your own beetroot chips is easy and requires only a few simple ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Fresh beetroots: Choose firm, medium-sized beetroots for best results.
- Olive oil: Opt for extra virgin olive oil for a richer flavor.
- Sea salt: A pinch of sea salt enhances the natural sweetness of the beets.
- Optional seasonings: Consider adding garlic powder, rosemary, or smoked paprika for additional flavor.
Instructions
Creating crisp roasted beetroot chips is a simple process that can be done in your home kitchen. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect crunch:
- Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the beetroots roast evenly and become crispy.
- Prepare the Beetroots: Wash the beetroots thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel the skins using a vegetable peeler.
- Slice Thinly: Use a mandoline slicer to cut the beetroots into thin, even slices. Aim for about 1/8 inch thickness for optimal crispiness.
- Toss with Olive Oil: Place the beet slices in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss until all slices are lightly coated.
- Season with Sea Salt: Sprinkle sea salt over the beet slices, ensuring even distribution. Add any additional seasonings if desired.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overlapping to ensure they roast evenly.
- Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are crisp and slightly browned.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on a wire rack. This helps them stay crispy.
