Use a mandolin or a sharp knife to slice the beets into ¼ or ⅛-inch slices. The thinner the slices are, the quicker the beets will dehydrate.

DEHYDRATOR INSTRUCTIONS
6
Lay the beet slices on the dehydrator sheets in a single layer ensuring they don’t overlap. Dry the slices at 125ºF for about ⏱️ 8-10 hours. Start checking on the beets from around ⏱️ 4 hours. The time it takes for beets to dehydrate can vary massively depending on how thick the slices are, how many there are in the dehydrator, and how much you want to dehydrate them.
