Crispy Beet Fries Aioli (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 teaspoon ground pepper
02 -
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
03 -
4 medium golden or red beets
04 -
1 teaspoon salt
→ Aioli Dipping Sauce
05 -
1 tablespoon sambal oelek
06 -
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 425°F and pop a large tray inside to heat it up while the oven preheats.
02 -
Trim and peel the beets before cutting them into thick slices. Slice those into strips about ½ inch wide.
03 -
Grab a big bowl, toss in your beet strips, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir them around to coat them evenly.
04 -
Carefully pull out the hot baking tray and spread your beet strips out in a single layer. Roast for 15 minutes, give them a flip, then roast for another 10 until they’re nice and crispy. Sprinkle with more salt when done.
05 -
In a small dish, stir together the sambal oelek and the light mayo until smooth. Pair it with your beet fries for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure the beet pieces are all about the same size so they cook evenly.
02 -
Don’t overcrowd your tray; grab another tray if things look packed.
03 -
Heating up the tray first helps make the fries crispier.
04 -
Flip the fries halfway through roasting to brown them evenly.
05 -
These won’t be as crunchy as regular fries. Deep fry them for extra crunch if that's what you want.
06 -
You can freeze them and reheat later in the oven at 350°F for around 15 minutes.
