Candied Beet Chips for Chocolate Beet Cake image

Candying the beets rather than simply baking them makes the chips beautifully translucent and sugary-crisp.

Time 1h40m

Yield Makes 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 baby beets, preferably Chioggia
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Slice beets very thinly into rounds, preferably on a mandoline. Bring water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Add beets. Reduce heat, and simmer until slightly translucent, about 30 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer beets in a single layer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat. Bake until dry and slightly firm, about 1 hour.
