Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For chips
2 medium beets with stems trimmed to 1 inch (1 lb total, including greens)
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
For curried sour cream
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 teaspoon Madras curry powder
3/4 cup sour cream
11/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish: fresh chives
Special Equipment
a Japanese Benriner or other adjustable-blade slicer; a nonstick bakeware liner such as Silpat

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.

I can't wait to try making these chips with different flavors of sour cream. I think they would be great with a roasted garlic sour cream or a horseradish sour cream.

These chips are a great way to use up leftover beets. I always have a few beets in my fridge, and now I know what to do with them.

I thought the curried sour cream was a bit too spicy for my taste. I ended up just eating the chips plain.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my chips didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. They were still tasty, though.

These chips are a bit more time-consuming to make than regular potato chips, but they're worth the effort. The flavor is so much better!

I'm not a big fan of beets, but these chips were actually really good. The curry flavor really mellows out the beet flavor.

The curry flavor in the sour cream is a nice touch. It adds a little bit of spice without being overpowering.

These beet chips were a hit at my party! They were so crispy and flavorful, and the curried sour cream was the perfect dipping sauce. I will definitely be making these again.
