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.
