Crispy Roasted Beet Chips
By Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN
If you’re a chip person (and even if you’re not) these are a great and healthy alternative to classic potato and other more-processed chips. Theses are tasty, easy to make and loaded with beneficial nutrients. For example, beets are a source of the anti-inflammatory compound anthocyanin, and also of heart-healthy potassium, and more. Have these chips as a snack with your favorite dip and you’ll be smiling from ear to ear.
