Ingredients

  • 1 beet washed, dried and peeled

Instructions

For Slices
    Cup of Yum
  1. Stand the beet on its root end and using a sharp knife slice a small slice off the side of the beet.
  2. Lay the beet on the cut side, and you now have a stable beet to cut slices with. Starting from the root end, carefully make paper thin slices until you reach the top end of the beet
For Wedges
  1. Lay the beet on its side and slice off the root end.
  2. Stand the beet up on the cut side and cut the beet in half and cut each half into half again
  3. Continue cutting the wedges in half until you have the desired size
For Julienne
  1. Stand the beet on its root end and using a sharp knife slice a small slice off the side of the beet
  2. Lay the beet on its cut side and slice off the top and the root end. Slice the beet in ¼ inch slices.
  3. Stack the slices and cut across at ¼ inch intervals to create matchsticks

Notes

  • Storage: If you have any leftover cut beets, store in a tightly covered container. Wrap in a damp paper towel if you like. It's best to use them within two or three days.
