    These delicious Air fryer Beet Chips are an alternative to potato fries. Flavored with black salt, black pepper, and sesame oil, these roasted beets make a perfect side dish on any occasion!

    Roasted to perfection, these Air Fried Beet Chips are mildly sweet, savory, and tender and are a vibrant side dish. 

    Made by matchstick-slicing fresh beets and tossing them with a drizzle of sesame oil, salt, and black pepper, these beet chips are roasted in an air fryer until they turn crispy from out and tender within. 

    I have made these homemade beet chips two ways- one is by slicing them into matchstick shape for fries, and one is by thin, round slicing for chips.

    Top these fries made with less oil with lemon juice or add them to your salad, and pasta, or have them as is with Tzatziki or any dip.

    Ingredients

    ingredients for beet chips in air fryer
    • Beets- The fresh red beets work best for this recipe. The raw beets are sweet, juicy, and tender. You may use any local variety of beets- golden beets or red. The beet greens can be used for garnishing.
    • Sesame oil- I love the nutty, earthy, and strong flavor that comes from sesame oil. Extra virgin Olive oil or avocado oil would work well too. 
    • Black Salt and Black Pepper- The Black salt adds perfect savory depth to the sweet taste of beets. You may use normal salt also.
    • Beet Feta Cheese Salad- You can dunk these roasted beets with red onions, walnuts, and feta to make a hearty salad.

    How To Make Air Fryer Beet Fries

    Step 1 Wash and Slice the beets

    Using a sharp knife, slice the washed beets. You may dry them with a kitchen towel and be prepared for the color bleaching on hands and utensils. Make a stack of slice and chop the beets in match stick form.

    You may choose to make round or stick slices as per your preference.

    While you chop, preheat the air fryer at 180 ℃| for 10 min. Layer the air fryer basket with parchment paper and place sliced beets evenly in it. Drizzle sesame oil, salt and black pepper.

    Expert Tips

    • Try creating uniform slices of beets for the best air frying.
    • Beets bleed color so use a kitchen cloth to avoid the color discharge on your utensils.
    • It is recommended to wash and dry beets before making the chips. This ensures that there is no moisture in beets or else the chips won't be crispy and rather soggy.
    • The Instructions for making beets round chips are the same as those for the beets fries. You may make them 2 ways in 2 batches as shown in the steps of the recipe.
    • If you roast a beet directly in an air fryer basket (without parchment paper), it will be crisper. As you may see, the fries are not very crispy because they were roasted on parchment paper. Choose the method you prefer.

    Recipe FAQs

    Why are my beet chips soggy?

    Fresh beets have lot of moisture and they tend to become soggy soon. It also depends on the weather condition. Food absorbs moisture soon in humid conditions. Make sure to cool off the beets and store them immediately in a dry container with lid.
