Beet and Sweet Potato Chips


Well, I'm back with another food Tuesday and I am REALLY excited about this week's recipe. As you all know, I am OBSESSED with the cooking channel. I could get lost for days watching all of their amazing shows. I was browsing their website when I stumbled upon a recipe for homemade beet and sweet potato chips (topped with garlic rosemary salt). I loveeee beets, sweet potatoes, AND chips so this immediately jumped to the top of my to-cook list.

I have this irrational fear of frying things so I was kind of nervous about doing it but I'm so glad I did. I had a blast. My roommate came home to me madly dashing about the kitchen finding things to turn into chips. She probably thinks I'm crazy... Oh well.

I didn't alter the recipe at all (you can find it here). My advice would be to leave the chips in the oil for about a minute longer than suggested as some of mine came out a little bit soggy. I would also suggest eating them while they're fresh because they weren't nearly as delectable the next day (though I still ate them like they were god's gift to chips).

i also have an irrational fear (or hate) of frying. So I did mine in the oven. Just sliced them a bit thinner and spread them evenly on a greased cookie sheet. Worked great although takes quite a bit of time at a low temperature.

M--I don't think that fears of frying are irrational at all ;). It's SCARY STUFF! Did your chips stay crispy? Mine didn't and I think it's because I didn't fry them long enough (due to my frying fears). I'm so glad you decided to give them a try!
