Vegetable crisps are an incredible and delicious way of eating something different while we take advantage of all the nutritional properties of vegetables. Beetroot crisps are great as a snack for children because beetroot contains a high percentage of iron.

Steps to follow:
Beetroot crisps are a good choice if you want a healthy snack, and this recipe we propose at OneHowTo will use the oven instead of deep frying so you get crunchy crisps with just a few calories. We assure you they will be as crispy as the fried ones, only lighter. Additionally, using the oven helps preserve more of the beetroot's natural nutrients, including its high levels of antioxidants, which are beneficial for your health.
Start by preheating the oven to 150°C whilst you prepare the beetroot. Wash and peel your beetroot and then, with the help of a potato or mandolin peeler if you have one to hand, cut the beetroot into very thin slices. The thinner the slices are, the faster they will cook and the crunchier they will become.
It should be noted that slicing evenly is crucial for achieving a uniform texture across all crisps. If some slices are thicker, they might not crisp up as well, so take your time to ensure consistency.
Once they are cut, there are only a few steps left before you can enjoy your beetroot crisps in the oven. Extend baking paper on a baking sheet and distribute the beet slices, without them becoming stacked. Then add a very fine splash of olive oil and sprinkle salt, pepper, and herbs like oregano, parsley, or thyme, which will give an incredible flavor to your vegetables. Do not add too much oil, or they will become soggy.
For additional flavor, you might consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of smoked paprika for a slightly spicy kick. This simple adjustment can elevate the taste, making your snacks even more enjoyable.
Place the tray in the oven for 15 minutes or until the crisps are golden. You should probably make two batches to cook all the slices you cut, but the wait is worth it. Remove from the oven and leave the beetroot crisps to cool before eating. Be careful not to burn them. Remain close to the oven as 1 minute more can spoil your beetroot crisps in the oven.
This recipe is delicious and very simple to prepare, but if you add other vegetables, you get an even more amazing and healthy snack. Vegetables such as sweet potatoes or parsnips can provide different flavors and textures. You can mix the veggie crisps together and store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh for longer.
