Homemade Beetroot Powder Recipe
This vibrant pink powder is made by dehydrating beets sliced paper-thin and then grinding them into a fine powder. Mix it into foods and drinks to add nutrition and natural color.
Ingredients
- Fresh red beets, scrubbed clean
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Peel beets and slice into 1/8" rounds using a mandoline for uniform thinness.
- Line baking sheets with parchment and arrange slices in a single layer. Be careful not to overlap.
- Place in oven at lowest setting or a dehydrator set at 95-125°F. Dehydrate 6-15 hours until completely dried but not browned.
- Transfer dried beet slices to a high-powered blender. Blend on high into a fine fuchsia powder, about 30 seconds.
- Store powder in an airtight container out of sunlight to retain color and nutrients.
