Easy 10-Min Air Fryer Beet Chips You’ll Love

I still remember the first time I made Air Fryer Beet Chips. I had a basket of fresh beets sitting on my counter, and instead of roasting them the way I usually do, I wanted something crunchy, light, and snack-worthy. I grabbed my slicer, cut the beets into thin rounds, and popped them into the air fryer. Within minutes, my kitchen was filled with the earthy aroma of beets turning into crispy, vibrant chips.

That day, I discovered that Air Fryer Beet Chips could replace potato chips in my pantry while offering a healthier, guilt-free crunch. Since then, this recipe have become my favorite snack for movie nights, work breaks, and even party platters.
