Golden Beet Chips with Spicy Goat Cheese Dip
YIELD: SERVES 4 APPROPRIATELY, 2 OBNOXIOUSLY TOTAL TIME: 2 HOURS
ingredients:
4 medium-sized golden beets
3 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
goat cheese dip
8 ounces goat cheese (chevre)
3 tablespoons plain greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh snipped chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, plus extra for sprinkling
2 to 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • directions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with no stick spray. Peel the beets with a vegetable peeler. Carefully use a mandolin or a sharp knife to slice the beets into super thin (like less than 1/8 inch) rounds. Place all the rounds in a large bowl and drizzle on olive oil. You don't want to over saturate the beets, so just start with the listed amount above. Season the chips with a bit of garlic powder and smoked paprika. (I like to keep the salt until the end.) Place the beets on the wire racks in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate the sheets and if you have larger beet chips, you can flip with each with a pair of kitchen tongs. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes - until the edges are getting dry and crisp. Watch closely - they can SO easily burn! Remove the sheets and sprinkle the chips with salt. Let them sit to cool completely - this is where they will crisp up and why you don't want to over-oil them! Once crisp, serve with the goat cheese dip. goat cheese dip Place the goat cheese, yogurt, herbs, salt, garlic powder and crushed red pepper in a food processor. Blend until combined, then with the processor still running, drizzle in the olive oil. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to make sure everything is thoroughl
