Slice the beetroot as fine as possible. A mandolin is the easiest way to do this.
Finely chop the rosemary.
Combine the beetroot, oil, salt and rosemary in a bowl. Use your hands to coat with the oil and seasoning. The salt will draw out water from the beets and make separating and coating the slices easier.
Lay the slices of beetroot in a single layer on the Breeze dehydrator trays, leaving enough space for adequate air flow.
Stack the trays and set the dehydrator to 50°C for 12 -18 hours or until crispy.
Allow the chips to cool completely then pack into airtight containers. Dehydrated vegetables will stay fresh for several months but I doubt they will last that long!
