Ingredients
- 2 medium fresh beets, peeled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or cooking spray)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and thoroughly dry the beets.
- Slice the beets into very thin, even rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Pat the slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Toss the beet slices with olive oil and the seasonings until evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 325°F (163°C).
- Arrange the beet slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
- Air fry for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through. Watch closely during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
- Allow the chips to cool for a few minutes before serving so they become even crispier.
Notes
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese after cooking for extra flavor.
- Try chili powder, cayenne pepper, ranch seasoning, rosemary, or thyme for different flavor variations.
- Combine red, golden, and Chioggia beets for a colorful batch.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 325°F for 1 to 2 minutes to restore crispness.
