Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized beets (preferably organic)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for a spicy kick)

Fresh herbs for garnish (such as dill or thyme)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the chips later.

    Prepare the Beets: Thoroughly wash the beets under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Cut off the leafy greens and the root end, then peel the beets using a sharp vegetable peeler to reveal their vibrant color.

      Slice the Beets: Using a mandoline slicer for uniformity or a sharp knife, carefully slice the beets into very thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick. The thinner the slices, the crunchier the final chips will be.

        Season the Slices: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced beets with olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper if you're looking for some extra heat. Toss the slices gently but thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned beet slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are spaced apart and not overlapping; this is crucial for achieving maximum crispness.

            Roast the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the beet slices for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, gently flip the chips to ensure even cooking. Keep a watchful eye on them, as cooking times can vary between ovens. They should be crispy and slightly curled but not burnt.

              Cool Down: Once they are done roasting, take the baking sheet out of the oven and allow the beet chips to cool for about 5 minutes on the sheet. They will continue to harden as they cool.

                Garnish and Serve: After cooling, transfer the beet chips to a serving bowl. For a finishing touch, sprinkle some fresh herbs on top, if desired. These colorful chips make for a delightful, healthy snack and a vibrant side that brightens up any meal!
