💡 Quick Note
- Beets love to leave their mark! If you don’t want pink fingers, pop on a pair of kitchen gloves—or just rock the beet look for a day!"
- Want a milder, less earthy chip? Try golden or striped Chioggia beets. They also don’t stain like red ones—bonus!
👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Mandoline = Your Best Friend: Get those slices paper-thin for even, crispy results.
- No Overcrowding, Please: Air fry in batches so each chip gets golden and crunchy.
- Make a few batches: Heads up—these shrink as they cook, so it might take a couple batches if you're feeding a crowd. Let them cool completely before storing in a container to keep them crisp.
