I love, Love, LOVE beet crisps. But every time I tried to make them they never turned out right.When I found this recipe I was happy, Happy, HAPPY 🙂

1 medium beet – VERY IMPORTANT that it is ROOM TEMPERATURE & NOT COLD!!
2-3 T canola oil
salt

Original Recipe:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Scrub the beet clean & trim the ends (don’t peel).
Slice 1/16 to 1/8 ich thick (use a mandolin if you have one).
Toss lightly with canola oil.
Season with salt.
Spread in a single layer on cookie sheets.
Bake 30-40 minutes.

No Salt or Oil:
Follow directions above omitting the oil & salt.

Original recipe also works for:
Fingerling potato crisps(2 potatoes slices the same 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes)
Apple crisps (1 granny smith apple. Do not peel or core, but remove seeds.  Toss with oil & light brown sugar. Bake @ 250 for 45-60 minutes).

NOTE: If the beets are cold from the fridge they will be soggy & not crisp up!!

Cut the rind from the oranges removing all of the white pith.
Segment the oranges over a bowl to catch the juice – putting segments in with beets.
Squeeze the juice from into “catch” bowl.
Whisk in olive oil & season with salt & pepper.

Shave the Romano on top & serve.

NOTE: To segment the orange, cut between the orange & the membrane using a paring knife.
