Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 large beets
salt
pepper
olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Pre heat oven to 400 degrees F. Clean your beets no need to peel them. With a mandolin or a very sharp knife slice your beets thinly. I use setting 2 on my mandolin but you can go thinner if you want.
  • 2. Put a cookie wire rack on top of a cookie sheet if you don't have one than brush your cookie sheet with olive oil. Arrange beets on cookie sheet or wire rack if you have one. If you have a wire rack you don't have to turn the beets chips over half way through the cooking process. Brush beets with olive oil salt and pepper them on both sides.
  • 3. Put in oven and bake for 30-35 minutes if you don't have a wire rack then after 15 minutes turn the beets over and cook for another 15-20 minutes. Take them out and let them cool and harden up and enjoy. You can do this with sweet potatoes, eggplants, zucchini possibilities are endless.

BEET CHIPS

Categories     Vegetable     Fry     Quick & Easy     Beet     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 medium beets (about 3/4 pound)
1/4 cup cornstarch
about 4 cups safflower or vegetable oil for deep-frying

Steps:

  • Peel beets. Using a mandoline or other manual slicer cut beets into paper-thin slices and transfer to a large bowl. Add cornstarch and toss well to coat.
  • In a 3-quart saucepan heat oil until a deep-fat thermometer registers 350°F. Working in batches of 8 to 10 slices, separating them from one another, fry beets, turning once or twice, until crisp and beginning to shrivel, 30 seconds to 1 minute, making sure oil returns to 350°F before adding next batch. Transfer chips as fried with a large slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Beet chips may be made 12 hours ahead and kept, uncovered, at room temperature.

BEET CHIPS WITH ROSEMARY



Beet Chips With Rosemary image

The tip to crisp red beet chips is to not only slice thinly but to "sweat" them first to remove excess moisture. This recipe includes instructions on how to sweat your beets.

Provided by Heather N.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 beets (mine were baseball size)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons rosemary, powder
1 teaspoon extra finely granulated sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Slice beets on thinnest setting using a mandolin. This gives you paper thin wafers that are relatively consistent in thickness. TIP: Use a glass or non-porous cutting board/mat. Beets stain surfaces! You can use red or yellow beets, or a mixture.
  • Place sliced beets in a glass bowl and toss with EVOO and salt. Allow to sit for 20 minutes. This process (salt) draws excess moisture from the beets. Once 20 min have passed toss beets in their liquid and drain.
  • Place slices in a single layer on parchment lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with a bit of sugar, this brings sweetness back out. Sprinkle with rosemary powder.
  • Bake 30-50 minutes. Until crisp. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • Place in air tight container with a silica packet. If you do not have some silica packets laying around (they come in jerky packages, etc.) make a small rice sock. This process keeps the chips crisp while in container rather than the chips absorbing the moisture from the air the rice/ silica do.
