Food & Cooking Recipes Dessert & Treats Recipes Candied Beet Chips for Chocolate Beet Cake 3.8 (22) Close Credit: Marcus Nilsson Prep Time: 10 mins Total Time: 1 hr 40 mins Yield: Makes 1/2 cup Candying the beets rather than simply baking them makes the chips beautifully translucent and sugary-crisp. Directions Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Slice beets very thinly into rounds, preferably on a mandoline. Bring water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Add beets. Reduce heat, and simmer until slightly translucent, about 30 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beets in a single layer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat. Bake until dry and slightly firm, about 1 hour. Cook's Notes Storage: Chips can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
