30-minute baked beet
chips infused with rosemary and speckled with sea salt. Perfectly
crispy, simple to make, and a healthy snack on the go.
Serves: 3-4
Ingredients
- 3 medium-large beets, rinsed and scrubbed
- Olive or canola oil
- Sea Salt + Black Pepper
- 2-3 sprigs rosemary, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and place oven rack in the center of the oven.
- Thinly slice beets with a mandolin (or a sharp knife), getting them as consistently thin as possible. They should curl a little when cut. This will ensure even baking and crispiness.
- Divide between two baking sheets and spray or very lightly drizzle with olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and the rosemary. Toss to coat, then arrange in a single layer, making sure the slices aren’t touching.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy and slightly brown. Be sure to watch closely past the 15 minute mark as they can burn quickly.
- Remove from oven, let cool. Then serve.
Ingredients:
ReplyDelete12 beets (red, golden, or mixed)
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoon celery salt (or sea salt)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F, and line several baking sheets with parchment paper. Scrub the beets well with a veggie brush and cut off the tops.
Use a mandolin slicer to slice the beets paper-thin (1/16 inch.) When the beet slices are this thin, there is no need to peel them first. Hold the root end while dragging the beets across the mandolin and watch your finger tips closely.
Place the beet slices in a large bowl and pour the oil and salt over the top. Toss well. (If using red and golden beets, place in separate bowls and divide the oil and salt evenly.) Ready for the secret step? Now let the beets sit in the oil and salt until they release there natural juices, about 15-20 minutes. This is what allows them to retain a better shape and color.
Toss the beets again, then drain off the liquid. Lay the slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 45-60 minutes until crisp, but not brown. Test after 45 minutes and only bake longer if necessary. Remove the beet chips from the oven and cool completely before storing in an air-tight container.
Definitely need a higher temperature, closer to 400F on convection. Baked for 25-30min causes some of them to be too dark or burnt and not all are crispy. Some are a bit chewy still. Not sure if I'd make it again.
