Olive Oil–Baked Beet Chips with Sea Salt and Black Pepper

The sweet, earthy root flavor of beet chips is a nice change from the classic potato chip. Invest a little time and effort in making these chips and you’ll have a new favorite snack.

When the raw beet slices are baked, they will shrink considerably, so use large roots. To avoid staining your hands, wear plastic gloves
