Air Fryer Roasted Beets Ingredients
You will only need a few basic ingredients to make this recipe
- Beet - You can take 4 small-sized (or 3 medium-sized) red beets weighing about 1 pound. Cut them into medium-sized pieces so that they will cook evenly and quickly.
- Extra-virgin olive oil – is ideal for roasting and adds richness and helps to crisp up the beets in the air fryer.
- Salt & Pepper – I have used only salt and pepper for seasoning.
How to Roast Beets in the Air Fryer
Firstly wash and clean the beetroot with water and pat them dry. Peel the beets and cut them into medium-sized pieces, roughly the same size for even cooking.
Transfer the beetroot to a medium-sized bowl. Add olive oil and season with salt, and pepper. Toss them well, so they are all coated with the seasoning.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Add the seasoned beets to the basket of the air fryer and spread them in a single layer (cook in batches if required).
Air fryer them at 375°F (190°C) for 14-16 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Shake the basket halfway through. Mine was cooked perfectly in 14 minutes.
