How To Make Beet Chips In Air Fryer
Start by peeling the beets. Use a Mandoline and cut the beets between 1/2 and 1/3 inches thick. Add in the olive oil and salt and coat the beets.
Spread the coated beets on the air fryer tray or in the basket. Set the temperature to 310 degrees for 10 minutes, and flip the beets with tongs every 3 minutes. If they need additional time, continue air frying and flipping every three minutes until they are done. They will crisp up as they cool down.
Pro Tips:
- Peel the beets. If you have never peeled beets, they are effortless. Here are some great pointers.
- Spread the coated beets on the air fryer tray or in the air fryer basket.
- Set the temperature to 310 degrees for 10 minutes, flip the beets with tongs every 3 minutes. If they need additional time, continue air frying and flipping every three minutes until they are done. They will crisp up as they cool down.
Are Dried Beet Chips Healthy?
Beet chips are a great snack as they are full of nutrients. Beets are not the lowest in carbs, but they are nutrient-rich vegetables.
Making them at home allows you to make chips containing preservatives, like some bags you buy in-store.
Why Are My Beet Chips Soggy?
If you run into your beet chips being soggy, it could be a few reasons. All beets have a lot of moisture. Sometimes if you don’t cut your beets thin enough, they will stay thicker and become soggy.
The other thing is, you might need to cook your chips a bit longer. While I give an air frying time, you have to use it as a guide. All air fryers heat just a bit differently so that the timing can vary a bit.
If you are worried about the beets’ moisture, then sprinkle with salt and place in a single layer on a paper towel. Allow them to sit for 15 minutes or so. This will help them sweat out. Pat the beets down to remove water that has come out.
Do You Have To Peel Beets?
Before you start cooking beets, you may be wondering if you have to peel them. The answer is…it depends. If the beets are young and small, you may not need to peel them. If they’re older or larger, you’ll likely want to peel them before cooking. Here’s how to do it: first, cut off the beet greens and discard them. Then, scrub the beets clean under running water. Finally, use a paring knife to peel off the skin. Voilà – cooked beets without any peeling required!
Spices To Use To Season Beet Chips
- Salt or Sea Salt
- Pepper
- Rosemary
- Thyme
- Cajun Seasoning
- Garlic Salt
Can I Make These In The Oven
If you want to make these in the oven, go right ahead. You will prep and lay your beet slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure to spray the pan or line with parchment paper.
Then bake, flipping to check on doneness. When they become crisp, remove them from the oven and serve them up.
Are Beet Chips Keto Friendly?
If you’re trying to stick to a ketogenic diet, you may be wondering if beet chips are keto-friendly. The answer is no, and beet chips are very high in carbs!
How Do You Dehydrate Beets In The Air Fryer?
The best way to eat dehydrated beets in the air fryer is by cooking them at a very low temperature, cooking them until they are dry enough for you. Some air fryers have a button for dehydrating.
How To Make Beet Chips In The Air Fryer Using Canned Beets

The recipe will remain the same; remember to drain the beets and continue with the recipe. I have also made these using Love Beets or Trader Joe’s Refrigerated beets.
Storing:
Since these chips are freshly made and have no preservatives, their shelf life is less than store-bought. Go ahead and allow your chips to cool down and then store them in an airtight container or sealable bag.
It is essential to allow the chips to cool down fully. Otherwise, you will find that the beets will build condensation, then sog up the scraps. Then they will spoil fast.
Store your chips on the counter at room temperature for a day or two. These beet chips are best when served up fresh straight from the air fryer.
