Vegan Beet Chips with Creamy Garlic Ranch Dip
Who doesn’t love indulging in a bag of potato chips? Light, crispy, and salty, they really do hit the spot! You really can’t just eat one… and once you’ve finished off the entire bag, you’re probably feeling a bit guilty. While delicious, potato chips are infamous for being loaded with fat, sodium, and calories!
What if there was a chip that was just as tasty and satisfying, but healthy as well?
These homemade beet chips are baked in the oven and are also oil free! Beet chips are low in calories and have many health benefits! Beets have anti-cancer properties, fight inflammation and free radicals, and are high in fiber and nutrients. These chips pair very nicely with my vegan garlic ranch dip. Hope you enjoy both recipes 🙂
