Air fryer beet chips are like potato chips, but healthier. They’re homemade, nutritious, crisp, and flavourful. Perfect for snacking or serving with your favourite dip.
I flavoured the beets with garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme, but you can use almost any spice or flavouring. Make them spicy by adding chili powder or cayenne.
To bake crispy beet chips, lay them on a single layer in the air fryer tray or basket, and bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
How to slice beets for beet chips
Making beet chips requires thinly and evenly sliced beets. For the best results, use a mandoline. And be careful, since it’s very sharp.
It’s more important that the beets are evenly sliced. So, if you only have a knife and are struggling to slice them too thinly, opt for slightly thicker slices.
As long as they’re evenly sliced, they’ll bake evenly. You may need to air fry them for longer if you have thicker slices.
How to flavour beet chips
To flavour beet chips, it’s essential to coat the slices in oil so that spices stick.
Then add spices and coat them! I used garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and thyme for a savoury, earthy flavour.
If you want to customize the beet chips to your tastes, use your favourite spices.
How to know if beet chips are done baking
Beet chips cook from the outside in, and turn from a dark purple colour to a mix of dark purple, light pink, and brown.
Once they look dry, as in not glossy from the oil, have changed colour, and have shriveled up slightly, they’re ready! Sprinkle with salt after transferring to a bowl.
