Ingredients
- 4 fresh beets
- canola oil
- sea salt
Instructions
- Wash and peel the beets with a vegetable peeler. Slice using the thinnest setting on a mandolin.
- Pour canola oil into a large, non-stick skillet until it is just about 1/4" deep. You don't need much oil - just enough to truly coat the bottom of the pan.
- Heat the oil over medium heat.
- Add the beet chips in a single layer and fry for about 3 minutes per side (flipping them once during cooking).
- Watch them closely so they don't burn but leave them in long enough until they are darker in color and starting to look "shriveled". They will still have a bit of "give" to them when you remove them from the pan and then crisp up further after they have cooled completely.
- Use tongs to remove the fried beet chips to a paper towel lined plate.
- Repeat the process of frying, adding a little more oil to the pan if needed.
- Sprinkle the beet chips lightly with sea salt and serve.
