Description
Perfectly roasted beets made in the air fryer, tender on the inside with a slightly crispy exterior.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of fresh beets, scrubbed and trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: herbs like thyme or rosemary for seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the beets into uniform pieces (about 1-inch cubes) to ensure even cooking.
- In a bowl, toss the beet pieces with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Place the beets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for best results.
- Air fry the beets for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Check for tenderness by piercing with a fork; they should be easily pierced when done.
- Once cooked, remove the beets from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving.
