Beet Leather Chips Recipes

Steps:

• Roast beets by enclosing in foil and roast till tender.
• Or Steam: Fill the bottom of the steamer with 2 inches of water and bring to a rapid boil. Add beets, cover, and steam for 15 minutes. Beets are cooked when you can easily insert a fork or the tip or knife into the beet.
• Remove skin when cool to handle.
• Place beets into a blender.
• Spread thinly, about 4 inch thick. The outer edges will dry faster, so make the outside a little thicker, up to 3/8 inch. Use Excalibur Paraflexx sheets, parchment paper, or the fruit leather inserts that came with your dehydrator. Don't use waxed paper. Dehydrate for 8-10 hours. Peel away the paper store chips in airtight container.

Steps:

• Peel and slice beets as thinly as possible with a sharp knife or mandoline.
• Combine sliced beets, water, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil in a large bowl. Let marinate, at least 10 minutes.
• Arrange beets in a single layer on food dehydrator trays. Sprinkle fleur de sel over beets. Store any beets that don't fit in the refrigerator.
• Dehydrate according to manufacturer's instructions, 8 to 12 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Slice beets on thinnest setting using a mandolin. This gives you paper thin wafers that are relatively consistent in thickness. TIP: Use a glass or non-porous cutting board/mat. Beets stain surfaces! You can use red or yellow beets, or a mixture.
• Place sliced beets in a glass bowl and toss with EVOO and salt. Allow to sit for 20 minutes. This process (salt) draws excess moisture from the beets. Once 20 min have passed toss beets in their liquid and drain.
• Place slices in a single layer on parchment lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with a bit of sugar, this brings sweetness back out. Sprinkle with rosemary powder.
• Bake 30-50 minutes. Until crisp. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• Place in air tight container with a silica packet. If you do not have some silica packets laying around (they come in jerky packages, etc.) make a small rice sock. This process keeps the chips crisp while in container rather than the chips absorbing the moisture from the air the rice/ silica do.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Using a mandoline, thinly slice beets to a thickness of 1/16". In a large bowl, toss beet slices with oil to coat evenly.
• On prepared baking sheets, in a single layer, arrange as many slices as will fit without crowding. Bake until crisp, 25-30 minutes, rotating pans once halfway through baking. Cool chips and blot with paper towels to remove any excess oil. Repeat, using a cool prepared baking sheet for each batch, until all beet slices are baked.
• Toss chips with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Thinly slice beets to about 1/16-inch thickness using a mandoline. Place beet slices in a bowl and add salt. Toss to combine. Allow beets to sit about 30 minutes. Drain excess liquid.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Pour olive oil over beets and toss to combine. Mix together garlic powder, black pepper, and dill in a small bowl. Sprinkle over beets and toss to coat. Place beet slices on baking sheets in a single layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 40 to 50 minutes. Sprinkle with additional salt, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Peel beets and slice 1/16 inch thick with a mandoline. In a large bowl, toss beets with extra-virgin olive oil.
• On two rimmed baking sheets (or use one sheet and bake in two batches), arrange beets in a single layer. Stack another rimmed baking sheet on top of each. Bake until edges of beets begin to dry out, about 20 minutes. Uncover and rotate sheets. Bake 10 to 20 minutes, removing chips as they become lightened in color. Transfer to a wire rack; chips will crisp up as they cool.
