Heart Beet Chips

I love Valentine’s day…but not for all the predictable reasons.

Heart Beet Chips (41 of 60)It’s become more of a fun holiday to get us through the winter blues rather than a romantic one. Hearts, crafts, an excuse to eat more chocolate…what’s not to love? 😉

Heart Beet Chips (55 of 60)And I love the kid side of Valentine’s Day that gives me an excuse to be as punny as I want. 

Heart Beet Chips - Delia CreatesWhich helps explain why my heart is “beeting” so fast for today’s post. 😉

Heart Beet Chips - www.deliacreates.comYep…you can thank beet juice for turning these chips this bright pink color. 

Heart Beet Chips (40 of 60)Now…if you hate beets don’t fret! These don’t taste like beets. Promise. I made sure to test them with non-beet lovers to be certain. After you bake them they end up tasting slightly sweet and tangy, and really good. 

If you are a long time reader and this post seems familiar, I have a Fall Leaf version of these chips HERE.

Heart Beet Chips (2 of 60)Alright. Let’s make some, shall we?

All you need are:

tortillas*
1 can/jar pickled beet juice (you can use non-pickled but it will taste more bland)
a shallow dish
cookie sheets
clean scissors (My five year old made these with me, so I cleaned his kid scissors for this project.)
 
*We prefer Tortilla Land raw tortillas. We cook them up beforehand.
 

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Then, cut your tortillas into heart shapes.

Heart Beet Chips (7 of 60)Drain the beet juice into a shallow dish.

Heart Beet Chips (11 of 60) Heart Beet Chips (16 of 60)You can still save and refrigerate the beets, but they probably won’t stay as fresh quite as long without the juice.

Heart Beet Chips (19 of 60)Now, simply give the tortillas a quick bath in the beet juice, let any excess juice drip off, and place them onto a well oiled baking sheet. 

Heart Beet Chips- www.deliacreates.comPop them in the oven for about 12-15 minutes or until crispy.

Heart Beet Chips (28 of 60)Flip them over mid-way through to ensure even cooking.

Heart Beet Chips - deliacreates.comPretty simple right?

Heart Beet Chips (42 of 60)Here is a quick summary so you have it all in one place:

    Would salt ruin or help the flavor? Just curious. I think my two-year-old and I will make these!

      I don’t think so at all. I think it would taste great with salt! 🙂

    Genius! I mean, how on earth did you ever think of that? That is just so clever. (By the way, when I saw the first couple of pictures I thought they looked like pretty tissue paper stained-glass window heart things – yes, that’s a technical term!)

      Thanks! I made leaf chips a few years ago and thought the beet juice made the chips more pink than Fall red, which led to these. 🙂

      And…that’s totally a technical term. I with ya. 😉

    Those are really cute! I’ve never thought of making baked chips with flour tortillas. =) I think my daughters will really like these (food is apparently 3 times as tasty when it is pink).

    I NEVER would have thought of this. Now I am trying to think of what other foods I can die for next week… would pink mashed potatoes be cool or strange? 🙂

      Ooh! That would be really yummy and clever. It wouldn’t take much beet juice either. Smart! I might copy you. 🙂
