  • Author: ushinzomr

Description

Deliciously roasted beets made effortlessly in your air fryer. This recipe brings out the natural sweetness of beets while keeping them tender and flavorful.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium beets, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed beets, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme (if using). Toss until the beets are evenly coated.
  3. Place the seasoned beets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches depending on your air fryer size.
  4. Cook the beets at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  5. Once the beets are tender and slightly caramelized, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of feta cheese before serving.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your beet cubes; smaller pieces may cook faster.
