• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Pantry
• salt Pantry

Total Cost of Ingredients: $1

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Use a mandolin, the slice edge of a cheese grater or a very sharp knife to slice the beet very thinly (but not paper-thin—you want them to be sturdy enough to hold dip). Place in a large mixing bowl and pour the oil over them. Use your hands to toss well.

Spread the oiled beet slices over the prepared baking sheets so that they are well-spaced-out. Sprinkle lightly with the salt.

Bake for about 15 minutes, then flip and bake on the other side until chips are crisp, 10-12 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Makes about 3 cups chips.
