Franklin Becker’s Beet Chips

beet_chips

Franklin Becker understands that beet chips have a lot more natural sugar than potato chips, but far fewer carbs. The food industry has made a pile by satisfying our lust for potato-chip crispness with “healthier” vegetables instead of potatoes. But there’s no need to shell out the big bucks for a few ounces of beet chips when you can make your own so easily and economically. Like the old commercial said, “Bet you can’t eat just one!”

Franklin is the executive chef of The Little Beet and The Little Beet Table and chef and partner at Hungryroot.  Yes, he’s a busy guy! We highly recommend adding these spots to your dining out list.
