Steps:
- Make chips:
- Peel beets with a vegetable peeler, then slice paper-thin with slicer, using stems as handles.
- Bring water and sugar to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add beets, then remove pan from heat and let stand15 minutes. Drain beets in a colander, discarding liquid, then let stand in colander 15 minutes more.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 225°F.
- Line a shallow baking pan with nonstick liner, then arrange beet slices snugly in 1 layer (it's not necessary to use any partial or broken slices) and season with salt and pepper. Bake beets until dry, about 1 hour. Immediately transfer chips to a rack to cool (chips will crisp as they cool).
- Make curried cream while beets bake:
- Cook shallot in oil in a small skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in curry powder and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
- Stir shallot into sour cream in a bowl along with chives, salt, and pepper. Serve curried cream with beet chips.

Steps:
- Peel 2 pounds beets, and chop them into 1-inch chunks; roughly chop the greens.
- Put both in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon butter and 1/2 cup stock.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer.
- Cover, and cook until the beets are tender and the greens wilted, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Boil off any excess liquid; stir in 1/4 cup sour cream, and toss with chopped chives. (This is fantastic served over egg noodles.)
Tips:
- Choose the right type of beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Smaller beets will have a more tender texture and are less likely to be woody.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline: Thinly slicing the beets is essential for crispy chips. Use a sharp knife or mandoline to get the thinnest slices possible.
- Toss the beets in oil and spices: Before baking, toss the beet slices in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Bake the chips at a high temperature: Bake the beet chips at a high temperature, around 400°F (200°C), for about 20-30 minutes. This will help them crisp up and caramelize slightly.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Beet chips can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as sour cream, ranch dressing, or guacamole. Or, try making the curried sour cream sauce from the recipe linked above.
