Beet Chips

No, that’s not bacon in my salad, but it’s way better, trust me.

This summer, I became semi-obsessed with beets. There is so much to do with them! My obsession lead to a lot of experimenting and my favorite discovery was beet chips. Somehow potatoes chips are now just less exciting and flavorful.

Allow me to change your life.   

To start making the chips, scrub and peel the beets, then chop off the ends. I absolutely love the bright red color! Warning: it will get all over your hands and stains fabric like nobody’s business.

Continue peeling the beets with a serrated peeler. Try to make the chips as similarly sized as possible so that they will bake evenly.

Coat the chips in olive oil and season with black pepper and sea salt. Transfer to a baking sheet and space out the chips so that they don’t stick together. Bake at 400 degrees F for roughly twenty minutes, flipping the chips after ten minutes. Baking time will vary depending on the size of the chips, so watch them closely! They are done when they bubble up and have turned orange- in short, when they look like bacon!

These guys can be enjoyed in a salad or you can just munch on them plain. 

'Cause they're THAT good.
