BBQ Beet Chips

 

3 medium-large beets, rinsed and scrubbed

Olive oil

Sea Salt + Black Pepper

1 tsp. paprika

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. onion powder

1/4 tsp. chipotle or chili powder

1/8 tsp. ground mustard

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and place oven rack in the center of the oven. Thinly slice beets with a mandolin (or a sharp knife), getting them as consistently thin as possible. They should curl a little when cut. This will ensure even baking and crispiness. Divide between two baking sheets and spray or very lightly drizzle with olive oil. In a small bowl combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle powder and ground mustard. Sprinkle the mixture over the beets and toss to coat, then arrange in a single layer, making sure the slices aren’t touching. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper as well. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy and slightly brown. Be sure to watch closely past the 15 minute mark as they can burn quickly.
