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.
