Air Fryer Beets

Ingredients

• 3 medium beets (or 4 small beets), about 1 pound
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• salt to taste
• pepper to taste

Steps

1. Wash and clean the beets with water, then pat dry. Peel and cut into medium pieces of roughly equal size so they cook evenly.
2. Put the beets in a medium bowl and add olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat all the pieces with seasoning.
3. Set the air fryer to preheat at 375°F (190°C). Arrange the seasoned beets in its basket in a single layer, working in batches if needed.
4. Air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 14-16 minutes or until fork tender, shaking the basket halfway through. One batch cooked perfectly in 14 minutes.
5. The roasted beets are ready; serve immediately with a dipping sauce on the side.

Oven Method

1. For the oven method, preheat to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the seasoned beets evenly in one layer. Bake at 400˚F for 20-25 minutes, tossing occasionally, or until fork tender.
