When you’re craving a salty, savoury snack, give these baked beet chips a try. They are low in calories, but packed in nutrients, making it a perfect go to snack.
Beets pack an impressive punch. They are nutritionally dense, containing calcium, iron, protein and fiber. Some studies have even suggested that beets help decrease your risk of colon cancer and heart disease. With their beautifully vibrant colour, delicious flavour, and health benefits, who couldn’t use more beets in their life?
How to make beet chips
Start by slicing your beets, very thin.
I use a Veggie Bullet to get perfectly thin and even slices but a mandolin slicer will also work. Or, you may also slice by hand. Just try to make your slices as thin and even as possible for even baking. Once sliced, place them in a bowl and toss with the oil and seasoning.
Then spread the chips into a single layer on your baking sheet with plenty of room in between and bake. These chips will come out crispiest if they are not touching.
Once baked, serve with your favourite dipping sauce, or enjoy plain.
I like my beet chips with some dairy free sour cream, or even some Guacamole. Or just enjoy them plain. Either way, they make for a perfectly healthy and delicious evening snack, or appetizer.
