Ingredients
- 3 medium beets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure it's hot and ready for cooking.
- While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the beets. Wash them thoroughly, peel the skins (if desired), and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes or wedges. This ensures even cooking.
- In a large bowl, mix the oil and salt and pepper. Add the beet pieces to the bowl making sure they are evenly coated.
- Carefully place the seasoned beet pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them. If your air fryer is on the smaller side, you may need to roast the beets in batches.
- Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook the beets for about 15-20 minutes. Be sure to shake the basket or toss the beets halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice caramelized exterior.
- Once the beets are done, carefully remove them from the air fryer basket using tongs or a spatula.
- Serve your air fryer roasted beets hot as a side dish or incorporate them into various recipes like salads, bowls, or as a delightful accompaniment to your main course.
