If you clicked on this recipe, you must have an affinity for salty snacks. We do too! It’s even better when we get to make real food snacks that provide nutrition! That way, you get to feel responsible about snacking, and that’s what the world is all about, right?
Such is the case with these dehydrated beet chips. The most important instruction for these chips is that you need to slice them thinly with a mandoline. This helps the chips become nice and crispy in the dehydrator, and it also allows for even cooking time. Cutting the beets with your knife may yield uneven thicknesses, which you don’t want. Lastly, the recommended dehydrating time is eight hours, but you may need to dehydrate them longer if you want crispier chips.
