Air fryer Beets
These air fryer roasted beets surprised me with how good they were. Slightly crispy on the outside, they had a lovely earthy sweet taste on the inside from the roasting.
Ingredients
- 3 beets
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. pepper
Directions
- Take nice beets that are fresh. I trim the top and bottom and peel them nicely. Yes, they stain your hands so once you are done cutting them, wash everything well.
- I normally cut them in thickish wedges like ⅛ths. Cut them uniformly so that they will cook evenly. You can also cut them into cubes if you so prefer.
- Dry them and take in a bowl. Then just toss with salt, pepper and olive oil to coat well.
- Preheat air fryer at 390F or 200C for 5 minutes. Place seasoned beet wedges in one layer without overlap.
- Air fry at 390F or 200C for 15- 18 minutes till the beets are nicely cooked and are slightly crispy outside.
- Preheat oven at 400F or 200C. Place seasoned beet wedges on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 35 to 45 minutes till the beets are nicely roasted and fork tender.
- Take them out and serve them right away.
