The quickest way to slice beets for chips is using a food processor with the slicing blade<\/a>. Feed the beets into the feed tube one at a time. Apply some pressure with the feed tube and pulse to slice. Cut the beets to fit if necessary.<\/p>\n The second quickest way to slice beets is using a v-blade mandolin slicer<\/a>. These are extremely sharp, so be sure to read the directions and use the food holder to prevent cutting your fingers. Consider using cut-resistant gloves<\/a> to protect yourself from cuts.<\/p>\n You can also slice your beets with a knife. I will warn you, this is the absolutely messiest way. Ask me how I know. Keep a few inches of the stems to hold on to while you slice.<\/p>\n Aim for 1\/16-inch (3 mm) thin slices. Thicker slices will take longer to crisp up in the oven, and will be more like a cracker than a chip, but will hold up well for dipping.<\/p>\n Freshly harvested beets contain a lot of moisture that can make your chips soggy. You can remove some moisture through a process called, “sweating.” Place the beets into a large bowl, sprinkle evenly with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes to sweat out excess moisture.<\/p>\n After the beets have released extra moisture, drain the liquid, and pat the slices dry with paper towels. Drizzle the beets with olive oil and sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.<\/p>\n Spread the beets on baking sheets without overlapping and bake until the edges begin the dry and curl. Watch them carefully so they don’t burn.<\/p>\n Remove the pan from the oven and place the beet chips on a cooling rack. The beet chips will crisp up as they cool. While they are still warm, sprinkle more salt to taste, if desired.<\/p>\n Dig in while they are still warm or cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.<\/p>\n![\"sliced](\"https:\/\/growagoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/beet-chips-slices.jpg\")
