Delicious Beetroot Crisps

Since getting into the "root to fruit" concept (basically making use of the whole vegetable/fruit rather than just one part) of one of my all time favourite sustainability chefs Tom Hunt, I absolutely love making crisps out of anything I possibly can. This part of a beetroot would usually go to waste but if you make sure to wash your beetroot well before peeling them, you can simple cover the peel in olive oil, salt & pepper and make some delicious vegetable crisps out of them. The photo doesn't do these beauties any justice but they are honestly better than any store bought crisps, promise. (or maybe I'm a little biased??) Either way, give them a try.

What you need

Whatever amount of beetrool peel you have

Whatever amount of olive oil you need to cover the peel and think is appropriate

Salt & pepper or any other spices to sprinkle on top

Method

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 175 degrees C
  2. Before peeling the beetroot, make sure you wash them really well beforehand- otherwise you will end up with some very soily/grainy crisps. (good for your microbiome but you might end up with a lot of crunch in between your teeth)
  3. Once you have peeled your beetroot, simply line up a trey and spread out your beetroot peel - drizzle with a generous amount of oilve oil, salt & pepper
  4. Bake in the oven for around 15 minutes, checking after 10 minutes or so to make sure they haven't burnt. You might wanna give them a little stir to make sure they become equally crispy
  5. Take them out as they begin to really darken and crisp up; eat straight away as they are dreamy fresh out the oven, or save some for later - if you can resist.

Also good this season
