Serves: 6 | Preparation time: 5 minutes | Cooking time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
4 large beetroots
3 tbsp coconut oil
Method of preparation:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 195C and line two large baking trays. Wash the skin of the beetroots well and thinly slice them using a mandolin or food processor. If you have neither, use a knife but cut them very-very thin.
Step 2: Brush the beetroots with the coconut oil and then lay them flat on the baking tray, ensuring they aren’t overlapping.
Step 3: Bake for 15 minutes. Please watch these / adjust the temp of your own oven as they burn easily. Once crisp, allow to cool on tray and top with your desired toppings.
To Serve:
Sprinkle a flavour on top, you could try:
– Lime Zest and Chilli
– Apple Cider Vinegar and Salt
– Dried herbs
– S & P
