How to Make Air Fryer Beet Chips

Step 1:  Start by peeling the beets using a vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin. Using a mandoline slicer, or sharp knife, cut the beets into thin slices, about 1/2 to 1/3 inch thick.

Step 2: Place the sliced beets in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Toss to evenly coat each slice.

Step 3:  Spread the seasoned beet slices in a single layer on the air fryer tray or in the air fryer basket.  Set the air fryer temperature to 310 degrees F and set cook time for 15-25 minutes. Every 3 minutes, use tongs to flip the beets for even cooking. If they need more time, continue flipping and air frying in 3-minute intervals until crisp.

The beetroot chips will crisp up as they cool. Once done, plate them up and enjoy!

Air Fryer Beet Chips Recipe Tips

• Use a Mandoline for Even Slices – Consistent thickness ensures even cooking and crispy chips.
• Pat Beets Dry – Remove excess moisture before air frying for better crispiness.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Basket – Arrange slices in a single layer to allow proper air circulation.
• Flip Frequently – Turning the chips every few minutes helps them cook evenly and prevents burning.
• Adjust Cooking Time – Air fryer models vary, so check for doneness and crispiness before removing.
• Let Them Cool – The chips will continue to crisp up as they cool down.
• Try Different Seasonings – Experiment with spices like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or cinnamon for unique flavors.
• Store Properly – Keep leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.

Storage

Store air fryer beet chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their crispiness. If they become soft, briefly reheat them in the air fryer at 300°F for 2-3 minutes to restore their crunch.

Air-fried beet chips pair wonderfully with a variety of dips and sides. Serve them with creamy dips like hummus, guacamole, or a tangy yogurt-based dip for a healthy snack. They also make a great side dish to complement sandwiches, salads, or burgers, adding a crispy, nutritious crunch!
