HOW TO MAKE BEET CHIPS (GLUTEN FREE, LOW CARB)

KETO BEET CHIPS (GLUTEN FREE, LOW CARB)
So the other day, I had Terra chips for the first time and they were pretty darn good but I wondered if I could make these at home and what do you know, beet chips are so easy to make!
You actually don't need a ton of ingredients for this or special equipment. You can make it in the air fryer or make it in the oven. Both are so good and the crisp is still there hours later.
What you will need to make homemade beet chips
Of course, beets are the main ingredient in these crisps - and you can use different kinds! I preferred using a combo of golden beets and purple beets ... and to be honest, I actually liked the golden beets better!
If you do use purple beets, I would warn that the colour is not only vibrant but has the possibility to stain anything. So always wash counters right away so it doesn't stain a purple colour.
The only other ingredients needed are smoked garlic powder and salt. Although you can use any seasoning you want, I do recommend the smoked garlic!
How to make beet chips
While the ingredients are minimal, it is somewhat time consuming because you will need to salt the beets ahead of time to draw out as much liquid as possible.
Using a mandolin is highly recommended - but you can also cut it yourself into 1/4 inch thick slices.
Spread a teaspoon of salt over the beet slices and put them into a collander and let them drain in a bowl for a mininum of 4 hours.
After most of the water has been drained - dry them off and cover them in olive oil.
Sprinkle in the seasoning, mixing so that they are covered equally. Add a bit of salt here too!
Bake or airfry at 250F for 1 hour, then turn up the heat to 350F for 10-15 minuntes until nice and crisp.
Cool and enjoy!
So simple! Check out my celeriac fries which are a good alternative to potato chips!
What you will need:
6 beets - sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 1/2 tsp of salt
Sprinkling of seasoning - I used smoked garlic
See above the ingredients for directions on how to make these chips!

These look really good!

[@tygerstripes3752]

They do look good! I like that you sliced the beets with a knife, though I do still crave a mandolin. Beet chips are so expensive ready made, I may try this soon. I love salty crunchies!

*Yummy* 🙂

[@michellemartinov6267]

I’ll give it a try!

[@danichang2700]

I'll try, thank you! :3

[@BlueWhisperer]

Um, beets aren’t keto friendly per Google.

[@rickworth7571]

So what do we do now 🤷‍♂️

[@BlueWhisperer]

@@rickworth7571 Don’t eat it if you’re on keto? lol

[@HungryElephant]

You're right! More of a low carb thing, especially in high amounts. I don't know why I thought they were.. maybe I was thinking of radishes?
They are ok for low carb tho! I'll take out the keto reference. Thanks for letting me know! Sometimes I muck up! 🥰
