Rosemary Garlic Beet Chips

Forget those processed, deep-fried, and high salt vegetable chips. Do you know how easy it is to make your own? It’s so simple. And if you haven’t tried beet chips specifically, you’re truly missing out.

Beet’s are a nutrient rich vegetable. They’re a source of fiber, potassium, vitamin B6 and vitamin C. And what better way to get these nutrients than from these delicious and easy Rosemary Garlic Beet Chips.

To make the Rosemary Garlic Beet Chips, firstly preheat an oven to 300°F.

While the oven is preheating, scrub and wash the beets well, and cut off the tops. If you have a mandolin grater, this will work perfectly to ensure your beet chips are the same size.

If you don’t – no worries. Just cut the beets into slices about 1/16 inch thick. Try to be as consistent as you can when cutting. This is important so that your chips will bake at the same time.

Once sliced, place the beets into a large bowl. Toss with the grape seed oil and the salt. And using your hands, press into each beet chip to make sure each individual chip is covered with oil and salt. Let stand for 10 minutes. This will help some of the water from the beets to leech out prior to baking.

After 10 minutes, toss the beets with the garlic and 1 tbsp rosemary. Then line 1-3 couple baking pans with parchment paper. How many pans you need will depend on their size. Place the beets in single file on the parchment paper. Make sure they aren’t touching each other.

Then place pan in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the chips are dry and crisp.

Once done, remove from the oven and toss with remaining 1 tbsp rosemary. Let the Rosemary Garlic Beet Chips cool prior to eating.

These can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week (if they last that long of course).
