Instructions
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.
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.
Air fry beets in a single layer (flat layer, not on top of each other) in the air fryer basket for a total of 15-20 minutes (flipping them every 5-10 minutes). Cook beets until fork tender.
Serve air fryer beets warm or chilled as a side dish or on a salad as desired.
