    Chocolate-covered beets and sweet potatoes are like vegetable chips/crisps with a bit of pizazz. They are so simple to make and I've given them a debonaire air through beetroot juice and lavender sea salt.

    These chocolate-covered vegetable chips/crisps are so simple to make!

    I've given then upped the taste sensation with an easy beetroot juice and lavender sea salt.

    Because salted chocolate is good. Very good. For your soul.

    And that is NOT an exaggeration.

    Cut the beets and sweet potatoes really thin if you want, leave them thicker - make them however you like.

    There will be loads of extra lavender beet salt leftover so try it on desserts, potatoes, eggs, vegetables...

    Chocolate-covered beets sound unusual, but try them and I'm sure you'll love them. 

    They're a little healthy and a little naughty. And ALL TASTY!

    Ingredients
     

    For the Lavender Beet Salt

    • 1 teaspoon culinary lavender
    • ¼ cup sea salt
    • 1 teaspoon beet juice

    For the vegetable chips

    • 1 sweet potato
    • 2 beets
    • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
    • 2 oz (50g) dark chocolate

    Instructions
     

    For the Lavender Beet Salt

    • Grind the lavender buds and salt in a pestle and mortar lightly. Mix in the beet juice, adding more if necessary for desired colour, spread onto a plate and allow to dry.

    For the vegetable chips

    • Preheat oven to 375F / 190C
    • Thinly slice the sweet potatoes and beets (using a mandolin is easiest), leaving the skin on if desired.
    • Toss in the melted coconut oil until covered and spread in a single layer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping each chip over halfway through cooking. Watch for them getting too browned and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
    • Just before the chips finish cooking, melt the chocolate in a microwave or in a bowl over a pan of simmering water (don’t allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water).
    • Dip the vegetable chips into the chocolate and sprinkle with the lavender beet salt. Best eaten right away.

        Sure, just use regular salt. It won't have the flavour of course but will still look lovely and pink!

      HOLY YUM! 🙂
      Might have to skip out on the beets, far too earthy for me,but the sweet potatoes? That's right up my alley! And that lavender salt? You clever clogs! I've GOT to find a way to use that in a recipe...my cogs are turning! 🙂

        Thanks Zoe! My ideas are all borne out of an intense vegetable obsession 🙂 "What can I do with beet juice? Hmmm... pink salt!"

      I love the look of that lavender beet salt - so very pretty! I think I'd like a jar in the bathroom, as a scrub, as well as the kitchen! Vohn x

        Great idea, Vohn! It would be an easy gift to make and the nice colour and smell makes it extra special. It lovely sprinkled on avocado and I'm sure I'll find lots of uses for it.
