Preparation time: 15 minutes to prep and 20–25 minutes to cook

Servings: 6–8

This is a versatile recipe that you can use either as a side dish for a meal or turn into chips for a great on-the-go snack. These beets are a little sweet and a little savory–and best of all, they’re ready in a jiffy!

INGREDIENTS:

6 medium-sized beets (you can clean them with a vegetable brush, but leave the skins on)

2 Tbsp. coconut oil

2 tsp. thyme

2 tsp. basil

1 tsp. sea salt

1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper

Optional: 1 tsp. garlic powder, or 2 minced fresh garlic cloves

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SLICED BEETS:

Preheat the oven to 400° F.

If you want a nice, warm side dish to a meal with a firm, yet soft texture, you can make these beets in your food processor with the slice attachment (the round attachment with one long blade to do slices). This will make a thick sliced beet.

Slice your beets, put them in a glass pan, and mix up all of the ingredients well.

Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until beets are soft.

Instructions for beet chips:

Preheat the oven to 400° F.

If you want to make beet chips for a crunchy snack, use a mandoline at 1 /16 " or as thin as you want the chips.

Slice the beets, put them in a bowl, and mix all of the ingredients well.

Using a glass pan or pizza stone, put the beets onto the pan in a single layer and bake until crispy, about 20–25 minutes.

Serving suggestion: These beets would be delicious as a side dish or chips with a grass-fed lamb burger (or beef burger!), chicken, or quinoa dish. They will store in your refrigerator for 4–5 days (softer beet slices) or up to 1 week for the chips. Freeze the chips if you want to make these in bulk and take them out for school lunches or a snack attack.
