make fat-free beetroot crisps by slicing thinly and dehydrating - works with courgette and parsnip too

I used to bake under foil but now I microwave as it`s faster but like baking you loose no juice or taste and they`re easy to peel the skin from.

Did anyone see the size of the beetroot in the Eden Project veg garden ?
Does anyone know where to get the seed ?
I've scoured the web with not a lot of joy
Thanks

I loved pickled beetroot for years but interestingly enough had never tried it unpickled....that was until i grew some one year with the intention of pickling it. After i'd boiled and skinned 'em i sliced for a taste....wow much better. Don't touch the pickled stuff now! Just boil and slice it...hot or cold....yummy.

Definitely worth growing.

I have a food dehydrator with lots of shelves. Slice about 1/4" thick, spread on the trays, and dehydrate til crisp (around a day, depending on moisture content and thickness of cut). Slice courgette crisps a little thicker as they shrink down more

Our beetroot didnt do any thing last year but then apart from the tomatoes and cucumber nothing grew very well mind you the pigeons and rabbits got a feed eating what ever come through but we only got the allotment in june and it was full of weeds, nettles, brambles etc. so we only cleared a small part so were pleased with what we acheived
