Equipment
- Mandoline slicer — ensures uniform, paper-thin beet slices for perfectly even cooking.
- Air fryer — circulates high-velocity hot air to transform raw beet slices into crispy chips rapidly.
- Paper towels — absorb excess moisture from the sliced beets to guarantee optimal crispiness.
- Mixing bowl — allows for an even, light coating of oil and seasoning across all beet slices.
Ingredients
- 2 large fresh red beets (peeled and trimmed)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil (Note: use a high smoke point oil for clean crisping)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (Note: finely ground for even distribution)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (Note: optional for extra savory depth)
Instructions
- Prepare the beets by peeling them and using a mandoline slicer to cut them into uniform, paper-thin slices (about 1/16 inch thick). High protein cooking tip: Toss the raw slices with a pinch of nutritional yeast or unflavored whey protein isolate if desired for an extra protein boost.
- Place the sliced beets on clean paper towels and pat them completely dry to remove all surface moisture, which is critical for achieving maximum crispness.
- Transfer the dry beet slices to a mixing bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, and gently toss until every slice is lightly and evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Arrange the beet slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping them.
- Air fry at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket gently every 4 minutes to ensure even airflow and browning.
- Watch closely during the last few minutes; remove the chips immediately when they look slightly curled at the edges and feel crisp to the touch to prevent the natural sugars from burning.
