Air Fryer Beet Chips are a tasty, nutritious snack that’s quick and simple to make in the air fryer. If you’re looking for a crisp, colorful alternative to store-bought snacks, this recipe is a great place to start.
I used to buy packaged beet chips, but now that I have an air fryer I can make them at home faster, cheaper, and with the seasonings I prefer.
If you enjoy simple crispy snacks, also try air fryer chickpeas, air fryer gnocchi, air fryer granola, or air fryer Chex mix for more ideas.

Ingredients:
- 3 beets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
How to Make Beet Chips in the Air Fryer
- Peel and slice the beets.
Carefully peel the beets and slice them to your preferred thickness. A mandoline works well for even, thin slices—use caution, it’s very sharp.
- Season the slices.
Place the beet slices in a medium bowl and toss with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange in the air fryer.
Place the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Slight overlap is fine, but avoid heavy stacking to ensure even crisping.
- Air fry until crisp.
Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for about 30 minutes, flipping the slices carefully halfway through to promote even browning.
- Watch for browning.
Begin checking the chips in the last 5 minutes and remove them earlier if they brown quickly. Cooking time will vary with slice thickness and air fryer model.
- Cool before serving.
Transfer the chips to a wire rack for a few minutes so they crisp up as they cool, then serve.
NOTE: This recipe was tested in a 1700-watt, 5.8-quart Cosori basket-style air fryer. Times may vary by brand and model—add a minute or two if needed.
FAQs
