...we were on about foods which may or may not make us run better, and beetroot was mentioned
I was making veg crisps this afternoon, from a selection, picked from my garden. Parsnip, carrot, celeriac, courgette, beetroot, and a shop bought sweet potato
Lots of lovely beetroot varieties. Mmmmmm. No after pictures as my husband demolished them!
Looking lovely- but extremely ephemeral! X
Courgette crisps are my absolute favourite, but I bet the beetroot crisps were beautiful.
Cor ! They look absolutely lovely, seems a shame to eat 'em !
Well done Miss W, the hostess with the mostess, we will see you on Bake Off yet !

Ooh I like your new profile picture poppy. So cute. xxx
Thank you your Maj ! xxx
They look yummy !!! They wouldn't hang around long in our house
Yum Yum Yum! No wonder he demolished them. They look like edible flowers. Hmm ... you can eat nasturtiums, I suppose you know? In summer you'd be able to mix petals among all the colourful fruits.
Yes ! They look like they should be scattered before someone's feet , like at Weddings ! xxxx
For some reason I now have a memory of being on the river of the town I grew up in, and coming across masses of flowers floating along downstream. There was a Hindu temple a bit further upstream, and there had been offerings made. (Normally what you'd find floating in the river would be litter, dead things, or "bum sausages", so the flowers made it into something new).
They're the same colour as my face on hard runs! They look fab missw, you should package them and sell them. You'd make a fortune!
wow they're so PRETTY and tasty too by the sound of it!!
My favourite food!!! Impressive MissW, I've never managed to grow so many!!
Did you dehydrate or used the oven?
MMM!! Beetroot!!! Boiled, baked, pickled !!
A PROPER Australian hamburger will ALWAYS have beetroot in it!!! Sometimes even pineapple!!
I agree, I dont mind calling myself beetroot faced if they have the ability to look that pretty. I bet they tasted good.
ummmmm home grown and home cooked, delicious
Lovely!
I'll never forget how excited the kids got the first time we made our own crisps. It's always better to prepare your own food.
I've never tried courgette crisps though. You've inspired me to try with my Dad's allotment batch thanks
Well! Don't these look just fab?! So brightly coloured and delicious looking.
Ooo we grew that lovely pink and white beetroot this year- its delish, nicer than the normal stuff and less messy. Haven't tried making crisps with it yet, but suspect I will this weekend. Thanks for the idea xx
The parsnip chips were my faves. The sweet potato ones cooked way faster than I expected so some of those got charred.
Pigivi, I did them in the oven.
Mmmm Baz, I like the sound of it on burgers!
Ooh clever missW, I like the look of those, I tried to make some once but it went very wrong - any tips?
Yep, allow plenty of time and clear the decks. It can get messy! Fun though but I did inevitably cut my finger on the dreaded mandolin. Bah! You dry the sliced veggies on kitchen paper and press another paper towel over the top so they are as dry as possible before you start trying to crisp them up. Watch em like a hawk once they're in the oven!
