Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For chips
2 medium beets with stems trimmed to 1 inch (1 lb total, including greens)
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
For curried sour cream
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 teaspoon Madras curry powder
3/4 cup sour cream
11/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish: fresh chives
Special Equipment
a Japanese Benriner or other adjustable-blade slicer; a nonstick bakeware liner such as Silpat

Steps:

  • Make chips:
  • Peel beets with a vegetable peeler, then slice paper-thin with slicer, using stems as handles.
  • Bring water and sugar to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add beets, then remove pan from heat and let stand15 minutes. Drain beets in a colander, discarding liquid, then let stand in colander 15 minutes more.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 225°F.
  • Line a shallow baking pan with nonstick liner, then arrange beet slices snugly in 1 layer (it's not necessary to use any partial or broken slices) and season with salt and pepper. Bake beets until dry, about 1 hour. Immediately transfer chips to a rack to cool (chips will crisp as they cool).
  • Make curried cream while beets bake:
  • Cook shallot in oil in a small skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in curry powder and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
  • Stir shallot into sour cream in a bowl along with chives, salt, and pepper. Serve curried cream with beet chips.

I'm not a big fan of curry, so I omitted the curried sour cream. The chips were still delicious.

These chips are a great way to use up leftover beets. I had some roasted beets in the fridge, and I decided to give this recipe a try. They turned out great!
