Air Fryer Beets

5 from 2

Air Fryer Beets roast up so sweet and tender with just oil and a few seasonings in half the time it would take in the oven. It's a quick and easy side dish or a great way to add nutrition, color, and flavor to salads.

Ingredients

6 medium beets (we used a combination of red and golden)
1 1/2 tablespoons avocado oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Cut off the beet roots. Then wash, peel and cube the beets to approximately 1-inch equal-sized cubes.
Toss beets with the oil, garlic powder, pepper, onion powder and salt.
Place beets in the air fryer basket, in a single layer (air frying in batches, if necessary.)
Cook at 380°F for 16-20 minutes, tossing once or twice to turn them during cooking. (Test by poking with a fork. The fork should be able to easily move through the beat without being mushy.)
Remove from the air fryer. Toss and serve right away.
NOTE: Air fryers are all similar, but just like ovens, cooking times can vary.

Notes

Consider wearing gloves. Beets will stain everything they come in contact with. We like to use gloves when peeling and cutting beets to avoid staining our hands.

Cut in uniform pieces. Make sure your beets are cubed in uniform 1-inch pieces, so they cook evenly. You will need to adjust the cook time if the pieces are smaller or bigger.

Use cooking spray. You might want to spray your air fryer basket with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent beets from sticking to the bottom.
