Beetroot Chips – Easy to Make Yourself

Beetroot chips are a healthy snack between meals. Beetroot comes with a whole range of vitamins and minerals, making it a particularly healthy vegetable. So here’s how to make healthy chips.

Make your own beetroot chips

You don’t need a lot of ingredients to prepare beetroot chips. For two servings, all you need is three medium-sized beetroots, a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and some salt and spices.

1. First, wash and peel the fresh beetroot. It is better to use an easily washable chopping board to prepare the vegetables because beetroot discolors material quickly.
2. Cut the tubers into very thin slices, about one to two millimeters thick. This works best with a mandolin or a really sharp professional knife.
3. Then salt the fine slices and let the salt soak in for a quarter of an hour. The salt removes the water from the vegetables, which in turn ensures that the chips are extra crispy.
4. Now pour off the resulting water and then marinate the slices with cooking oil and herbs such as thyme and rosemary.
5. Place the slices individually on a baking tray and bake the chips at 140 degrees for a good 45 to 60 minutes. You don’t necessarily have to preheat the oven.
6. Check from time to time whether the beetroot chips are ready. To do this, let a slice cool and then test how crispy it is.
