PREPARATION
These steps are followed for the preparation of Oven-Roasted Beetroot Chips Crisp And Light:
- Preheat The Oven: Set the oven to 180° Celsius and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Preheating ensures the beetroot slices roast evenly and achieve the perfect crispness.
- Slice The Beetroot: Use a sharp knife or mandoline to cut the beetroot into very thin slices. Consistency in thickness is important so that all slices cook at the same rate.
- Season: Place the beetroot slices in a mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Toss gently until every slice is evenly coated for flavour and crisp texture.
- Arrange On Tray: Lay the slices out in a single layer on the prepared tray, making sure they do not overlap. Overlapping prevents them from crisping properly.
- Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the slices halfway through. Bake until the edges curl slightly and the chips become golden and crisp.
- Cool And Serve: Remove the tray from the oven and allow the chips to cool for a few minutes. This helps them firm up before serving or storing.
