Ingredients
- 2 large whole beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
Instructions
- Peel the Beets: Start by washing and peeling two large whole beets to remove the skin for a clean and crisp chip texture.
- Slice the Beets: Use a mandoline slicer to cut the peeled beets into thin slices, approximately between 1/2 and 1/3 inches thick, ensuring even cooking and crisping.
- Season the Beet Slices: In a bowl, toss the beet slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of sea salt, coating them evenly for flavor and crispness.
- Prepare for Air Frying: Spread the coated beet slices in a single layer on the air fryer tray or basket to allow hot air circulation for optimal crisping.
- Air Fry the Beet Chips: Set the air fryer to 310°F (about 154°C) and cook for 15 to 25 minutes. Flip the beet slices using tongs every 3 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. Continue this until the chips are crisp and slightly browned.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the beet chips from the air fryer and allow them to cool. They will crisp up further as they cool down. Plate and enjoy immediately as a tasty, healthy snack.
Notes
- Thickness of beet slices is crucial; thinner slices will crisp better and cook faster.
- Flipping the chips frequently prevents burning and promotes even browning.
- Adjust salt to taste or use alternative seasonings like smoked paprika or garlic powder for variation.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- Use fresh, firm beets for best results.
