Air Fryer Beets
Air Fryer Beets are a tasty, healthy side dish - ready in just 15 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 lb (900g) raw beets
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
To serve (optional)
- fresh dill
- salt
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F / 200°C.
- Peel the beets (I usually do this in a bowl of water so my hands don’t get stained!). Chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- Toss the beets with the oil in a bowl, then spread out in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 12 minutes, tossing them halfway. Check and cook longer if necessary due to the size of your beetroot wedges.
- Serve warm with sprigs of dill and a sprinkling of salt.
Notes
The beet wedges should be in a single layer in your air fryer basket to prevent them from steaming or becoming soggy. You may have to cook them in a few batches.
Variations
Toss with smoked sea salt for a delightful smoky flavor. Use a mix of golden beets, red beets, or candy cane beets. Air fried beets can also be served cold and tossed into a green salad. Perfect with Air Fryer Asparagus. Top with crumbled feta cheese or Cotija cheese for a salty bite and texture. Use fresh parsley, cilantro or your favorite fresh green herb. Sprinkle with a little Baharat spice blend for a Middle Eastern flavor.
