There is nothing more addictive than chips: potatoes, tortillas, Fritos! Crunchy food has something that makes you unable to stop eating it. Take, for example, these beet chips: crunchy, colorful, and by far healthier than potato chips. They don't have a drop of oil, just salt and pepper … But they are delicious. Beet slices shrink in the oven and become like pieces of paper. But the "work" is worth it because you and your family can satisfy your craving for crunchy food without fat. Something healthier? Impossible!

salt
freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Parchment paper will save you time in the kitchen...
Cover two or three baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange the beets in the baking trays and add some salt (and pepper if you want).
From the oven to your mouth.... yummy!
Bake for 30 to 45 minutes until the edges are crisp and beets look like dry flakes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. When cold, the beet chips become super crispy.
