Beetroot crisps
Bright burgundy crispy chips with a light natural sweetness of beets and spicy spices. Baked in the oven without frying, they are much lighter and healthier than store-bought.
These chips are perfect as a movie snack, a salad addition, or an original garnish for meat and fish. They are easy to prepare at home, and the result will pleasantly surprise you.
Moreover, you can easily change flavor notes by adding different spices to your taste. This makes beet chips a versatile and creative addition to your menu.
Variations
- Add some smoked paprika to give the chips a light smoky aroma.
- Sprinkle hot chips with grated hard cheese and return to the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
- Before baking, drizzle the beets with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice for a pleasant tanginess.
Tenderness secrets
- Slice the beets as thinly as possible to allow the chips to dry well and become maximally crispy.
- Be sure to pat the slices with a paper towel to remove excess moisture before applying oil and spices.
- After turning off the oven, leave the chips inside with the door slightly open to allow them to dry out properly.
Ingredient tips
- Choose firm young beets of medium size, they are sweeter and bake more evenly than large ones.
- Use neutral vegetable oil without a strong odor so as not to overpower the beet flavor.
- Sea salt or large salt flakes are more noticeable on the finished chips and provide a pleasant crunchy accent.
Nuances
- Ensure the slices do not overlap, otherwise they will steam instead of drying.
- Thin edges of the slices may brown faster, they can be removed earlier or trimmed before baking.
- Each oven bakes differently, prioritize the color and crispiness of the chips over the time.

Preparation steps
01
Prepare the oven and baking sheet — Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius and line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Time: 5 min. Guide: The oven is hot enough, parchment lies flat on the sheet without wrinkles.
02
Prepare the beets — Wash the beets thoroughly, peel, and trim the tops and tails. Time: 5 min. Guide: Beets are clean and smooth, free of dirt and coarse parts.
03
Slice the beets thinly — Slice the beets into very thin circles about one millimeter thick using a knife or mandolin. Time: 10 min. Guide: Slices are translucent and approximately the same thickness.
04
Dry the slices — Place the beet circles in a single layer on paper towels and pat with additional towels. Time: 5 min. Guide: The surface of the slices is matte, with no visible moisture droplets.
05
Season the beets — Transfer the beets to a large bowl, add oil, salt, pepper, dried garlic, paprika, and optionally vinegar or lemon juice, and mix well. Time: 5 min. Guide: Each slice is evenly coated with a thin layer of oil and spices, no dry pieces remain in the bowl.
06
Arrange the slices on the baking sheet — Spread the seasoned beet slices on the parchment in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Time: 5 min. Guide: Slices are laid out freely, with a small gap between them.
07
Bake the chips — Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 18 minutes, then carefully flip the slices and bake for another 12 minutes, ensuring the edges do not burn. Time: 20 min. Guide: The edges of the chips are dried and slightly darker, the center is elastic but no longer raw, and the smell of roasted vegetables is pronounced.
08
Dry and cool the chips — Turn off the oven, crack open the door and leave the chips inside for a few more minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely. Time: 5 min. Guide: The chips are completely cold, easily lift off the parchment, and break with a crunch when bent.
09
Tip: Store beet chips in a tightly closed glass jar at room temperature for up to three days, and optionally sprinkle them with a pinch of salt or freshly ground pepper before serving.
