Move over potato chips—beet chips have you, well, beat! These easy-to-make vegetable chips are as beautiful as they are nutritious.

Ingredients
4 beets, stems and greens removed, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt or seasoning of your choice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Get out a large rimmed baking sheet.

Place beets in a bowl, then add olive oil and salt. Toss to combine.

Place beets in a single layer on baking sheet. Do not overlap slices; use multiple baking sheets if needed for space. Bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour, turning slices over about halfway through cooking time. Watch carefully to prevent burning, especially if some chips are thinner than others. Cool before eating.

How do these compare in carb counts to potato chips?!

I would guess that the carbs aren't that different, however beets are way healthier. Some of their carbs are fiber. And beets are a superfood due to high nutritional content (magnesium, potassium, vitamins A, B6 and C, iron, folic acid, soluble fiber, antioxidants and protein).

How do you store chips after baking and how long do they store at room temp?

Hi, Pam. We would recommend keeping the beet chips in an airtight container at room temperature for no longer than 2 weeks.

Hi, Elizabeth. You'll notice that under the recipe title of all of our recipes, there is a green icon with a picture of a printer. This is the print button.
