Air Fryer Beets (Best Method!)

Air Fryer Beets (Best Method!)

Recipe Details

Author Bri Beaudoin
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 40 to 50 minutes

Summary

Whole beets are foil-wrapped and air fried to steam-roasted perfection—sweet, juicy, and vibrantly colored with minimal prep and mess. A simple, vegan and gluten-free side that tastes exceptional on its own or in salads and bowls.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Scrub beets thoroughly and trim the ends; do not peel.

  2. 2

    Place the beets on a sheet of foil. If using different colored beets, divide them onto separate pieces of foil (about 2 to 4 beets per packet).

  3. 3

    Drizzle the beets with the olive oil and use your fingers to coat.

  4. 4

    Tightly seal the foil to form pouches so steam cannot escape.

  5. 5

    Place the foil packets in a single layer in the air fryer basket (no preheating needed). Air fry at 375°F (190°C) until the beets are tender through the center, about 40 to 50 minutes depending on beet size and air fryer model.

  6. 6

    Open packets and let cool slightly. Rub off skins with your fingers or under cool running water, then slice and serve as desired.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb beets (small (1 to 1.5 inches), any color)
  • 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
