2 large beets, peeled
1 Tbsp. olive oil
¼ tsp. rosemary
¼ tsp. thyme

Directions

Slice all vegetables using a mandolin set on its thinnest setting.
Soak slices in ice water for 10-15 minutes. Rinse repeatedly until water runs clear.
Dry the slices thoroughly and toss with oil, herbs and salt.
On a microwavable plate, arrange as many slices on a paper towel as will fit in a single layer. It will be necessary to work in batches.

Microwave the beet slices at half power in 2 minute intervals, flipping and removing crisp slices as they are done.
