This healthy alternative to salty, fat-laden chip recipes won't let your taste buds tell the difference.
What is it about beets that gives them such a bad rap? They are vibrant in color, rich in vitamins and nutrients, and oh so versatile. The rosemary and garlic in this Beet Chips with Tzatziki Dipping Sauce recipe tone down the earthy taste that is sometimes off-putting with beets, leaving you with a satisfyingly crunchy chip that is perfect dipped in Tzatziki sauce.
You can feel good that you’re trying a healthier option than plain old potato chips, and giving the sadly overlooked beet a chance. If you have more Tzatziki sauce than you end up needing, save it for a tasty veggie dip.

Chips
- 4 beets red and golden, medium
- 2 teaspoons kosher or sea salt to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon rosemary fresh, chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
