Ingredients for Olive Oil-Baked Beet Chips With Sea Salt And Black Pepper

  • 900g large beets, peeled

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Sea salt

  • Freshly cracked black pepper

How to make Olive Oil-Baked Beet Chips With Sea Salt And Black Pepper

Preheat oven to 350°. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.

Using a mandoline, thinly slice beets to a thickness of 1/16". In a large bowl, toss beet slices with oil to coat evenly.

On prepared baking sheets, in a single layer, arrange as many slices as will fit without crowding. Bake until crisp, 25-30 minutes, rotating pans once halfway through baking. Cool chips and blot with paper towels to remove any excess oil. Repeat, using a cool prepared baking sheet for each batch, until all beet slices are baked.

Toss chips with 1/4 teaspoons salt and pepper to taste.
