Recipe Intensity: Easy
Ingredients:
- 2 large beets, washed and peeled
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, cumin, etc.
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the beets into rounds. Aim for slices that are about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick for best results.
- Place the beet slices in a bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss the beet slices until they are evenly coated with oil.
- Season the beet slices with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings of your choice. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the seasoned beet slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping.
- Air fry the beet slices at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are crispy and golden brown. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the beet slices and the efficiency of your air fryer, so keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
- Once the beet chips are done, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Let the beet chips cool for a few minutes before serving. They will become crispier as they cool.
- Enjoy your homemade air fryer beet chips as a healthy and flavorful snack!
Note: Keep in mind that beet chips can burn easily, so it’s important to monitor them closely during cooking, especially towards the end of the cooking time. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences, and feel free to experiment with different spices and seasonings for variety.
