BECAUSE THEY DESERVE TO BE.
A real taste treat, beet crisps (recipe follows).
This is how they grow in my garden.
Did you notice something unusual about them?
They are cylindrical and not round in shape.
How many children, would you say, would recognize the lowly beet and know how and where they grow?
Perfect for slicing evenly sized beet thins.
Which when baked make the most delicious treat,
the new beet sensation, the beet crispy chip.
Normally I like to bake my beets and many are still growing in my garden, waiting to be preserved for winter meals.
Beets provide health benefits not readily available from other food families.
Scrub beets, thinly slice with mandolin (or sharp knife) leaving skin on. Place on lightly sprayed, with olive oil, cookie sheet.
Sprinkle with bits of Rosemary, Sage, or Thyme. and
Real Salt (from the Redmond Salt Mine).
Lightly spray again with olive oil.
Bake in oven @375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
Isn't this the perfect time to harvest a garden you planted in April.
