Best Fantastic Microwaved Beet Chips Recipes

FANTASTIC MICROWAVED BEET CHIPS

Steps:

• Slice beets very thin. I use a mandolin set at the thinnest setting.
• Brush a thin layer of oil in the bottom of a microwave safe pan. I use my pampered chef stoneware.
• Lay the beet slices in the pan, slightly overlapping. They will shrink significantly, so no need to leave "breathing" room.
• Sprinkle LIGHTLY with salt. Since they shrink so much, the salt taste will be more concentrated when done.
• Microwave on high. My first pan takes 6 minutes. Each pan full after takes 5 - 5 1/2 minutes, since the pan's hot.
• There's no need to re-oil the pan after the first set.
• Feel free to experiment with different flavors on the chips.

CRISPY OVEN-BAKED BEET CHIPS

Steps:

• 1. Pre heat oven to 400 degrees F. Clean your beets no need to peel them. With a mandolin or a very sharp knife slice your beets thinly. I use setting 2 on my mandolin but you can go thinner if you want.
• 2. Put a cookie wire rack on top of a cookie sheet if you don't have one than brush your cookie sheet with olive oil. Arrange beets on cookie sheet or wire rack if you have one. If you have a wire rack you don't have to turn the beets chips over half way through the cooking process. Brush beets with olive oil salt and pepper them on both sides.
• 3. Put in oven and bake for 30-35 minutes if you don't have a wire rack then after 15 minutes turn the beets over and cook for another 15-20 minutes. Take them out and let them cool and harden up and enjoy. You can do this with sweet potatoes, eggplants, zucchini possibilities are endless.

BEET LEATHER CHIPS

Steps:

• Roast beets by enclosing in foil and roast till tender.
• Or Steam: Fill the bottom of the steamer with 2 inches of water and bring to a rapid boil. Add beets, cover, and steam for 15 minutes. Beets are cooked when you can easily insert a fork or the tip or knife into the beet.
• Remove skin when cool to handle.
• Place beets into a blender.
• Spread thinly, about 4 inch thick. The outer edges will dry faster, so make the outside a little thicker, up to 3/8 inch. Use Excalibur Paraflexx sheets, parchment paper, or the fruit leather inserts that came with your dehydrator. Don't use waxed paper. Dehydrate for 8-10 hours. Peel away the paper store chips in airtight container.

EASY BEET CHIPS

Steps:

• Thinly slice beets to about 1/16-inch thickness using a mandoline. Place beet slices in a bowl and add salt. Toss to combine. Allow beets to sit about 30 minutes. Drain excess liquid.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Pour olive oil over beets and toss to combine. Mix together garlic powder, black pepper, and dill in a small bowl. Sprinkle over beets and toss to coat. Place beet slices on baking sheets in a single layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 40 to 50 minutes. Sprinkle with additional salt, if desired.

DEHYDRATED BEET CHIPS

Steps:

• Peel and slice beets as thinly as possible with a sharp knife or mandoline.
• Combine sliced beets, water, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil in a large bowl. Let marinate, at least 10 minutes.
• Arrange beets in a single layer on food dehydrator trays. Sprinkle fleur de sel over beets. Store any beets that don't fit in the refrigerator.
• Dehydrate according to manufacturer's instructions, 8 to 12 hours.

BEET CHIPS WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Slice beets on thinnest setting using a mandolin. This gives you paper thin wafers that are relatively consistent in thickness. TIP: Use a glass or non-porous cutting board/mat. Beets stain surfaces! You can use red or yellow beets, or a mixture.
• Place sliced beets in a glass bowl and toss with EVOO and salt. Allow to sit for 20 minutes. This process (salt) draws excess moisture from the beets. Once 20 min have passed toss beets in their liquid and drain.
• Place slices in a single layer on parchment lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with a bit of sugar, this brings sweetness back out. Sprinkle with rosemary powder.
• Bake 30-50 minutes. Until crisp. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• Place in air tight container with a silica packet. If you do not have some silica packets laying around (they come in jerky packages, etc.) make a small rice sock. This process keeps the chips crisp while in container rather than the chips absorbing the moisture from the air the rice/ silica do.
