Notes
- We usually buy two bags of beet chips just to make sure that we're able to find enough nice-looking chips for this recipe.
- Make your own beet chips
- Wash a few small beets well then slice them as thin as possible, about 6 slices per beet. Toss beets with oil and lay in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes, flip beets over and bake for another 7-10 minutes. Watch beets carefully so that they don't burn. Reduce heat to 220 degrees and continue to bake until they are almost crispy, between 1 ½ - 2 hours. Remove from the oven, toss with salt, and set aside to cool.
