2Tablespoonsextra virgin olive oilplus more for the baking sheets
Kosher salt to taste
Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and grease lightly with olive oil.
Using a mandoline, slice the beets to a thickness of 1/16" or as thinly as possible.
In a bowl, toss the beets, olive oil, salt and pepper until well coated.
Lay the slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
Place the baking sheets in upper and lower thirds of the oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Rotate sheets and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
Allow chips to cool completely on the baking sheets. Adjust seasoning and serve plain or with dip of choice.
Notes
The beets will shrink significantly when baked so use larger beets if possible. There is no need to peel the beets but give them a good scrub before slicing. Once out of the oven the beets will need to cool completely in order to crisp up.
