    1. Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F and prepare the beets for roasting in the air fryer. First wash beets, peel them carefully with a vegetable peeler, and dice them into 1 inch chunks which are perfect for bite sized pieces.
    2. Season beets. Add olive oil, salt and pepper, and garlic powder to a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Add beets and use a spatula to toss them in the seasoning to coat beets evenly on all sides. 
    3. Air fry beets in a single layer (flat layer, not on top of eachother) in the air fryer basket for a total of 15-20 minutes (flipping them every 5-10 minutes). Cook beets until fork tender.
    4. Serve air fryer beets warm or chilled as a side dish or on a salad as desired.

    FAQs 

    How do you peel the beets for air frying?

    Very carefully! I’ve discovered that beets that have begun softening are actually easier to peel with a vegetable peeler. Otherwise, I’ll use a sharp knife to cut off the outside of the beets, just be careful because they can be hard and slippery.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
