Beetroot Crisps
When we flew out to South Africa, we had an evening flight. Which meant that we had to come up with some food but we'd been steadily emptying the fridge for days. I managed to concoct burgers, topped with blue cheese (left from the gorgonzola pannacotta that Paul wouldn't eat) and our homemade, home-grown green tomato chilli relish. We also had a few beetroot that we hadn't managed to get through. I peeled them, sliced them on the mandolin and fried them until they were crisp. They took a lot more frying than I anticipated! But they were very nice, lightly sprinkled with some red wine infused salt I'd been given for Christmas. I don't know that the red wine added any flavour, but it certainly looked pretty.

I love beetroot so am definitely going to try the crisps. Pan fry?
Those look better than any kind of chip! Happy New Year!

Dee - yeah, 10 days with the in laws! I shallow fried, but I think you could oven fry too.

Great idea! I love that you made crisps out of them, beets are one of my faves.
Thats a new way to eat beetroot, think I'll give that a go.
Natashya - I have more beetroot, so I am going to do them again.
James - you can buy them at M&S if you don't fancy making them!
So funny--I just tagged a recipe in a magazine for baked beet crisps a few days ago and just got a beet in my CSA box yesterday so I am going to try it this weekend. I am not a huge beet fan but thought they would be fun to try. Yours look delicious! ;-)
