Equipment
- medium bowl
- Air fryer I used Ninja XL
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 3 medium beets
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon coriander
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the beets well. Peel the skin off with a knife or veggie peeler.
- Prepare the seasoning mix by combining 1 teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon coriander, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ cumin, ¼ cinnamon, ¼ black pepper.
- Cut the beets into 1-2 inch chunks or cubes and place them in a bowl.
- Add ½ teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoon olive oil to the beets. Toss well to coat.
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F. Place the beets in air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for about 15 minutes at 400°F. Transfer half roasted beets back to the bowl. Add the prepared seasoning and a splash of oil. Toss well to coat.
- Add seasoned beets back to the air fryer basket and air fry for another 7-12 minutes at 375°F or until fork tender. When cooked, squeeze some lemon juice on top and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
Seasoning: adjust the amount of seasoning to your liking. I recommend adding half of the created spice mix if air frying only one batch of beet (about 2-3 medium roots).
Make it spicy: if you like spicier food, add about ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the spice mix.
Add sweetness: if you like sweeter roasted beets, you can drizzle them with honey or add some brown sugar before roasting.
