CRISPY OVEN-BAKED BEETROOT CHIPS — HEALTHY, NATURAL, AND DELICIOUSLY CRUNCHY

Enjoy these beautiful and wholesome beetroot chips baked and gently dehydrated in the oven for a crunchy, nutrient-packed snack. Made from thinly sliced, tender beetroot rounds seasoned simply with sea salt, this recipe highlights the natural sweetness of the vegetable with minimal effort and no added oils.

🕒 Prep Time: 15 min

🍳 Cook Time: 35–40 min
🍽️ Yields: 1 batch (adjust quantity as desired)

Ingredients

  • Fresh round beetroot roots (choose tender, non-fibrous ones)
  • Sea salt — to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beetroot

  • Peel the beetroot thoroughly.
  • Using a mandoline slicer or similar tool, cut the beetroot into very thin, uniform rounds.
  • Arrange the slices on baking trays lined with parchment paper, spacing them out without overlapping.
  • Sprinkle generously with sea salt.

2. First Bake

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) with the fan on.
  • Place two trays at a time in the oven.
  • Bake for 15–20 minutes until edges are slightly dried and scalloped, and centers are cooked through but still tender (not raw or hard).
  • Remove trays as each batch finishes, transferring chips to a large bowl.

3. Dehydrate for Crispness

  • After all batches are baked, arrange the chips again on trays, spaced apart without overlapping (they will have shrunk significantly).
  • Lower the oven temperature to 130°C (265°F) with fan.
  • Bake for an additional 10 minutes to further dehydrate and crisp the chips.

4. Cool and Store

  • Remove trays and let chips cool completely on them — this enhances crispness.
  • Once cooled, transfer to bowls for immediate consumption or airtight containers for storage.
  • If chips soften over time, re-crisp by baking at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes.

💡 Tips

  • Select tender, non-fibrous beetroot for the best texture and flavor.
  • Thin, uniform slices ensure even baking and crispiness.
  • Spacing slices without overlap prevents steaming and sogginess.
  • Cooling on the trays locks in crunchiness.
  • Re-baking restores crispness if chips soften during storage.

🎉 Perfect For

  • Healthy homemade snacks
  • Gluten-free, vegan-friendly treats
  • Party appetizers or lunchbox additions
  • Nutritious alternatives to potato chips
