Garlic Beet Chips

Photos and recipe updated 10/17/17. Original writing remains. 

What better way to celebrate the Christmas season than with a yummy root vegetable? Spoken like a true food nerd, I know…but, believe me, this recipe is a MUST try! Throw these tasty chips into the mix with your Christmas roasts and eggnog, and you won’t be disappointed. Or better yet- leave them out for Santa on Christmas Eve. I hear he’s watching his weight 😉 …

As another semester comes to an end, I finally have the chance to experiment in the kitchen. And in typical Veg World fashion, I was aiming to create a recipe that was fast, inexpensive, and just plain delicious. Too difficult a feat?! Well, I’ll let you decide for yourself.

Nothing “beets” this color! 😉
