Sweet & Salty Beet Chips with Garlic Aioli

By Angie Quaale

Ingredients:

• Chips:
• 1 small fresh Beet
• Sugar and Salt for sprinkling
• Well Seasoned Olive Oil, for frying
• Coarse Sea Salt, to serve
• Garlic Aioli
• 4 cloves Garlic, peeled
• 1 Egg Yolk
• 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
• Mixture of 1/2 Olive Oil and 1/2 Vegetable/Canola Oil
• Salt
• Pepper

Instructions:

• Peel the beet, and using a mandolin, cut into very thin slices.
• Lay the slices on parchment paper and sprinkle them with sugar and salt.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pan of medium. Cook the slices in batches, until they float to the surface and turn golden at the edge. Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle with sea salt once they are cool.
• In a food processor, add egg yolk, garlic, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard, and turn on. While it is still going, slowly add oil until it is emulsified and it becomes of "mayonnaise" consistency.
• Season to taste.
