Quick Recipe
Zesty Oil-Free Beet Chips
Ingredients:
- 2 medium beets, scrubbed well and thinly sliced
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for extra crisp)
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scrub beets well (no peeling needed!) and slice very thinly with a sharp knife or mandolin.
- Toss slices with a pinch of salt, lemon juice and zest. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Cool completely (they crisp up more as they cool), then enjoy!
Stay crispy and plant-powered!
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
