Baked beet chips are a delightful and healthy snack, perfect for those seeking a crunchy treat without the guilt. To prepare these vibrant snacks, begin by preheating your oven to 150°C (300°F). Next, take a couple of medium-sized beets, scrub them clean, and slice them thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife; aim for about 1-2 mm thickness to ensure they crisp up nicely.

In a mixing bowl, toss the beet slices with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt, making sure each piece is evenly coated. For an extra layer of flavour, consider adding spices such as smoked paprika or a sprinkle of garlic powder. Spread the slices in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, making certain they aren’t overlapping to allow for even cooking.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crisp and slightly curled at the edges. Once done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes; they will continue to harden as they cool. Enjoy your homemade baked beet chips as a tasty nibble on their own, or pair them with a creamy dip for a delightful appetizer.
