Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Beet Greens
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt sea salt, to taste
- Pepper black, freshly ground, to taste
- 1/4 cup Peanuts coarsely chopped, optional, roasted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Thoroughly wash and dry the beet greens. Remove the thick stems, as they can be bitter.
- Spread the beet greens in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. If using, sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts over the greens.
- Bake for 5-10 minutes, checking frequently, until the edges are crispy and slightly browned. The chips can burn quickly, so keep a close eye on them.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The chips will crisp up further as they cool.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch and a nutty depth, try tossing the beet greens with a mix of chopped roasted peanuts and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before baking.
- If your beet greens have thick, fibrous stems, remove and save them for stir-fries or pickling, as they can become chewy in chips.
- To ensure even crispiness, arrange the leaves in a single layer without overlapping, and rotate the baking tray halfway through the cooking time.
- For a spicy kick, dust the chips with smoked paprika or chili flakes just before baking, or drizzle with a little sriracha after they come out of the oven.
Expert Tips
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding will steam the greens instead of crisping them. Use multiple baking sheets or bake in batches if necessary.
- Experiment with different seasonings! Garlic powder, onion powder, or even a sprinkle of parmesan cheese can add delicious flavor.
- For a healthier option, use an oil mister to lightly coat the beet greens instead of tossing them in oil.
Storage Instructions
- Once completely cooled, store beet green chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for optimal crispness.
