Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • Baked beet chips are a great snack option that pair with a variety of dips, such as hummus and tzatziki.
  • Flavorings are easily customizable.
  • Beet chips are a healthier alternative than fried potato chips.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Beets: Baked beet chips are made with fresh beets. Cut off the leaves and stems (you can save the beet greens and fry them!) and slice the beets to an ⅛th of an inch thin using a mandolin. Use any color beets, such as yellow or red.
  • Spices: Garlic and cumin season the sliced beets. You can also use sumac, za'atar or simply salt and pepper.
  • Olive Oil: Brush a thin layer of olive oil onto the sliced beets before baking and save some as a garnish for the labneh dip.
  • Labneh: This is a strained yogurt cheese that is used in Mediterranean cuisine. Labneh is tangy, creamy and thick and can be used in a multitude of ways, such as spread onto a crostini for bruschetta or dolloped onto charred peaches for dessert. If labneh isn't available, substitute with full fat thick Greek yogurt.
  • Toppings: To make the labneh dip, top the labneh with crumbled feta cheese, chopped cucumber and fresh lemon zest.
Use a mandoline to slice fresh beets into thin slices for baking.

How to Make Baked Beet Chips

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Wash and scrub the beets well and cut away the beet greens. *Tip: Leave a a few inches of the stem in tact to hold onto as a "guard" while you are slicing the beets.
  3. Using a mandolin, slice the beets into 1/16th inch thick slices and add the sliced beets to a wide bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let the beets sit for 10 minutes to release any moisture.
  4. Drain the beets and use a paper towel to blot excess moisture.
  5. Season the beets and drizzle with olive oil, cumin, garlic powder and pepper and mix to combine.
  6. Spread the sliced beets onto a parchment lined baking sheet in an even layer and bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are crisp.

Make the Labneh Dip

  1. Add labneh to a bowl and mix in fresh lemon juice.
  2. Top the labneh with crumbled feta cheese, chopped cucumber, lemon zest, pinch of za'atar and a good drizzle of olive oil.

Recipe Variations

  • Season the beets with a bit of cayenne for added spice.
  • For a sweeter flavor, season the beets with cinnamon.
  • Instead of labneh cheese, substitute with Greek yogurt.

Recipe Tips

  • If using yellow and red beets, keep the colors seperate so the red beets don't stain the lighter color beets.
  • Keep an eye on the beets as they bake, some thicker slices will take a few minutes longer to cook.
  • Keep the beet greens and use them as you would with spinach or kale!
  • Look for larger beets if you want larger chips because the beets will shrink as they bake.
Are beet chips healthy?

Beet chips are a delicious and healthy option compared to and are loaded with fiber, vitamin C and baked and not fried.

How do you keep beet chips from getting soggy?

Slice the fresh beets thin to keep them crisp when baking. Once baked, store the beets in an air tight container to keep them from getting soft.

    Genius, I didn't even know Beets came in different colors. We are doing this as the Ingredients are minimal as opposed to a bag of chips that has so many ingredients that I can't even pronounce.
