Beet Chips

Ingredients:

Beets
Olive oil cooking spray
Sea salt

Preheat oven to 375.  Peel beets and slice paper thin with mandoline, vegetable peeler, or a sharp knife.  Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.  Spray lightly with o.o. cooking spray.  Lay beet slices in a single layer.  Lightly spray beets and season with sea salt.  Lay another sheet of foil on top of beets, and place another smaller baking sheet on top of beets.  This will keep them from curling up.  Bake for 15 minutes.  Remove the top baking sheet and layer of foil on top of beets, and bake uncovered 10-15 minutes more until dried and crisp.  There is a fine line between crisp and burnt, so you'll want to pay close attention towards the end of cooking.  It's almost best to remove them when you think they are almost done, but not quite, as they do crisp up a bit more after they are removed from the oven.  You want to still see pinkish/red.  If the chip is all dark and black, it is burnt!  These are amazing and all 3 of my kids loved them, which is fairly unheard of in the Mendez home!
