Baked Sweet-Potato Beet Chips!
Yields about 3 cups of chips using 1 sweet potato and 1 beet (Double ingredients to yield more chips, they go fast!)
These are a healthier and cheaper alternative to the store-bought veggie chips, but they taste just as good! Baking these root vegetables really brings out the flavour, all you need is salt, no extra spices required.
Start by preheating the oven to 250 degrees F and then peel and rinse the sweet potatoes and beets. Next you have to slice them super thin. The trick to getting the best, crispiest chips is to slice them as thin as possible, and the easiest and safest way to do this is with a mandolin, trust me it makes a huge difference. Choose the appropriate blade for cutting into round, chip shapes and slice away.
Next, place the sliced veggies into a bowl and coat them in a good later of olive oil. Really mix them around to make sure they’re all coated. Next add salt, pink Himalayan sea salt is the best and has many health benefits! Again, make sure to coat each chip.
Once all the chips are evenly coated, place them on baking trays lined with parchment paper. Make sure not to layer or overlap the chips or they won’t bake properly. It can take up to half an hour or longer depending on how crispy you want them. Keep checking them every once in a while and only remove once they’ve browned and/or become crispy!
Once you’re sure they’re done, remove from the trays, let cool and enjoy! Be sure to store the chips in an airtight container.
