Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized beets, scrubbed and peeled

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Optional: Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). To make cleanup a breeze, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Slice the Beets: Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp kitchen knife, thinly slice the beets into uniform rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick. This ensures they will cook evenly and become crispy.

      Season the Beets: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced beets with olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Toss the beets gently, making sure each slice is thoroughly coated in the seasoning blend.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer the seasoned beet slices to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will impede proper crisping.

          Roast Slowly: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the beet slices halfway through the cooking time. Keep an eye on them as the end time approaches—you're aiming for beautifully deep-colored, crispy edges.

            Cool and Crisp: Once roasted to perfection, take the baking sheet out of the oven and let the beet slices cool for several minutes. During this cooling phase, they will continue to crisp up, enhancing their crunchiness.

              Serve and Enjoy: If you wish, garnish with fresh herbs to add a burst of flavor and color. These crispy beet slices make a delightful snack or serve as a unique topping for salads and soups!
