Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beets (about 1 kilo)
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • salt and pepper, to season

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (375°F).
  • Peel the beets and chop them into identical sizes.
  • Combine the chopped beets, oil, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Mix all the ingredients evenly.
  • Place the seasoned beets into the air fryer basket.
  • Keep some space in between to help them cook quicker.
  • After 5 minutes of cooking, shake the basket to roast the beets evenly on all sides.
  • Continue cooking for about 13 to 15 more minutes, or until the beets turn soft --- shaking the basket regularly.
  • Transfer your roasted beets into plates.
  • Serve, and garnish with some sea salt or fresh parsley, if preferred.

Notes

  • Cook's Tip #1:  Try to keep the sizes of the beets the same.  It helps in cooking them at the same time and not overcooking the smaller ones.
  • Cook's Tip #2:  Instead of shaking the air fryer basket, you can also use the tongs with silicone to mix the beets.
  • Cook's Tip #3:  Feel free to use a toothpick to check if the roasted beets in the air fryer are soft --- and done.
