Ingredients
Beet Chips
4Â large beets
Kosher salt
Fresh cracked pepper
Non-stick cooking spray
Dip
2 tablespoons of creamy goat cheese
2 tablespoon of organic skim milk
Mini parsley sprig for garnish
Technique
Rinse, peel and cut both ends of the beet off. Slice beet into circles as thin as you can with a knife. They are dense so be careful when slicing. Also note that beet juice can stain clothing. Place each slice of beet onto a cookie sheet coated with non-stick cooking spray. Once all beet slices are spread evenly onto cookie sheet, spray the top of each slice with non-stick cooking spray. Lightly sprinkle beets with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Cooking time will depend on thinness of the beet slices. While beets are cooking, combine goat cheese and skim milk in a small container. Mix and place into a ramekin. Once beets are crisp, remove from oven and place onto a paper towel and blot any excessive oil. Then transfer to a serving dish with dip and serve.
Chatty Advice
When making any of our gluten-free recipes take care in reading the labels of any packaged or canned products. If there is a label on anything you are using, read it or ask to make sure that it is indeed gluten-free. Many products vary in ingredients from brand to brand. Some examples of this can be found when looking at the labels of soy sauce, mustard, distilled vinegar, and even chicken broth.
The beets look awesome! If I wasn’t so lazy, I’d try to make them. Aren’t they hard to slice?
They are dense, but make a base by cutting off a side and use a sharp knife to slice. Better yet use a mandolin if you have one.
