Beet and Kohlrabi Greens Chips

When you buy beets and kohlrabi, don’t throw out the greens!  And if you thought green smoothies and braised mixed greens were the only thing you could do with them, here’s another idea for you!

These are very similar to my kale chips recipe.  Really, you can make a chip out of any substantial leafy green.  I have enjoyed chips made with mustard greens, broccoli leaves, the outer leaves of Brussels sprouts, turnip greens, collard greens and of course all varieties of kale.  I like the combination of beet and kohlrabi greens because the sweet beet greens balance out the excessively bitter kohlrabi greens so well.  You will once again note that I am using coconut oil for my chips.  Olive oil or avocado oil works well too, although I love the flavor of coconut oil.  Another note about these chips:  they don’t keep very well (neither do my kale chips).  We always eat ours immediately.  If you want to make chips that will keep, it’s best to use a food dehydrator (see this post for directions).
