Red Beet 'chips'
On my travels, at a small country store, looking for snacks on the road, I found Red Beet Chips. Well, snacking in the car isn't always the healthiest, so I decided to try these. Who would ever think..they were delishious!!!
Now I have a dilemma!! I need more!!!
Searching the net, I found recipes for deep frying & oven baked. Tryed a few..NONE were like 'chips'...
Can anyone out there come to my rescue with a tryed & true recipe???

I have never successfully cooked potato chips so I have no idea how to make beet chips. I can never get my potato slices thin enough even using my mandolin and they don't fry crisp enough without getting too dark.

Trick is to pat them dry between paper towels after slicing thin. If the mandolin isn't slicing thin enough you may need a sharper blade. I've purchased canned sliced beets and made chips out of those also. have baked and deep fried.

Ellageo, what you found might be the freeze dried method and we can't make them like that. I dried beet slices into chips and they are not good, so they get soaked in water and put in a smoothie. I found dried green beans and mixed veggies that are so crunchy and sooo good but we can't make either, freeze dried. Bummer!

You're probably right : (
I tried a few 'internet' recipes, all not good. I was hoping someone did have success & pass it on. Oh well. I guess I'll get out of the kitchen & go quilt : )
