Air Fryer Beetroot Chips: Step-by-Step

If you're looking for a healthy and delicious snack, air fryer beetroot chips are a fantastic choice. They are not only crispy and full of flavour but also packed with nutrients. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to making your own at home.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium beetroot, scrubbed and peeled
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Sea salt, to taste
• Optional: your choice of seasoning (e.g., paprika, garlic powder, or rosemary)

Step 1: Prepare the Beetroot Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the beetroot very thinly, ideally about 2-3mm thick. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips will become.

Step 2: Season the Chips Place the beetroot slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. If you're using any additional seasonings, add them now. Toss everything together until the beetroot slices are evenly coated.

Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer Preheat your air fryer to 160°C (320°F) for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures the chips start cooking evenly right from the start.

Step 4: Air Fry the Beetroot Chips Arrange the beetroot slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be sure not to overcrowd them; you may need to cook in batches. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 5: Cool and Serve Once the chips are crispy and slightly golden, remove them from the fryer and let them cool on a wire rack. This cooling process helps them achieve maximum crispiness. Enjoy your homemade air fryer beetroot chips as a guilt-free snack or a colourful side dish!

Experiment with different seasonings to find your favourite flavour combination. Happy frying!
