With the Super Bowl approaching, I’m sharing finger foods this week. Beet chips are a great alternative or addition to the standard chips and dip that are on most Super Bowl party menus. That beautiful deep red color will really brighten up your appetizer spread. Beet chips are crunchy, taste great and they’re good for you! How can you go wrong? Beet chips are wonderful dipped in a little bleu cheese dressing or my vegan lemon, dill dip.
Beet Chips Recipe
This beet chip recipe is adapted from Martha Stewart.
3 small beets (about ½ lb)
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Peel beets. Slice beets 1/16 inch thick using a mandolin slicer. In a large bowl, toss beets with oil and coat well. Spread on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with a little salt.
Top beets in pan with another sheet pan to keep beets flat as they start to cook. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees F. Remove top pan and bake another 10 – 20 minutes, checking every few minutes and removing slices to a rack to cool as they lighten in color. (You want to take them out when they’ve just lightened but before they start to brown.) The chips will crisp up as they cool.
For the lemon, dill dip simply whisk together 1/3 cup mayonnaise (Veganaise or Smart Balance Mindful Mayo for vegan), 1 tsp lemon juice, ½ tsp dried dill weed.
These beet chips are so pretty and so good! They’ll disappear in a hurry! You may want to make a double batch!
