Air Fryer Beets

The air fryer cuts beet cooking time nearly in half compared to oven roasting, and the results are excellent — sweet, slightly caramelized, with good texture throughout. No foil tent, easy cleanup.

Tips

Section titled “Tips”
  • Beets stain — use gloves when peeling and a cutting board you don’t mind getting pink.
  • If slices are uneven, thinner pieces may crisp up faster — check and remove them early if needed.
  • Save the beet greens — they cook like spinach and are great quickly sautéed with a little garlic.
