Description

Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Beet Chips made with fresh beets, olive oil, and sea salt. A healthy, easy-to-make snack that’s perfect for satisfying your crunchy cravings without deep frying.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 large whole beets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sea salt


Instructions

  1. Peel the Beets: Start by thoroughly peeling the 2 large whole beets using a vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin for a clean, smooth texture.
  2. Slice the Beets: Use a mandoline slicer to thinly slice the peeled beets to about 1/2 to 1/3 inch thickness for even cooking and crispiness.
  3. Season the Beets: Place the sliced beet pieces into a bowl, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sea salt. Toss well to ensure each slice is evenly coated with oil and salt.
  4. Air Fry the Beets: Arrange the coated beet slices in a single layer on the air fryer tray or basket without overlapping to allow air circulation for crisping.
  5. Set Temperature and Time: Preheat or set the air fryer to 310°F (about 154°C). Cook the beet chips for an initial 15 to 25 minutes, flipping them with tongs every 3 minutes to promote even browning and crispness.
  6. Check for Doneness: Monitor the beet chips as they crisp up and continue air frying in 3-minute increments if needed until the desired crisp texture is reached. Be aware they will crisp further as they cool.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once crispy, carefully remove the beet chips, plate them, and enjoy this nutritious, crunchy snack immediately or let them cool for optimal crispness.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline for uniform slices to ensure even cooking.
  • Flip the beet slices regularly to avoid burning and to achieve crispness on both sides.
  • Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the slices and your specific air fryer model.
  • The chips will continue to crisp as they cool, so don’t overcook them in the air fryer.
  • Adjust salt to taste or try seasoning with other spices like smoked paprika or garlic powder for variety.
