Air Fryer Beets

What you will need for these Air Fryer Beets!

• FRESH BEETS: For me; absolutely nothing ‘beets’ fresh BEETS! Haha. Yes. I went there. Honestly. Nothing compares. Even canned beets just don’t do them justice. Yes. Beets can be earthy; but for even the beetiest of beet haters, this method of cooking beets is ELITE! They become sweet and sticky. Crispy on the outside with a bite in the middle and the are perfect for adding to meals. Beets are rich in folate (vitamin B9) which helps cells grow and function. Folate plays a key role in controlling damage to blood vessels, which can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Beets are naturally high in nitrates, which are turned into nitric oxide in the body. They are so good for you. And very much worth trying airfryed! 
• OLIVE OIL: don’t be afraid of healthy fats! The key word being healthy. Olive oil, avocados, nuts and seeds. These oils help maintain healthy digestive systems and are essential in a well balanced healthy diet. I’m cooking with olive oil in this recipe as it’s a healthy way to lubricate and help crisp up the beets. Add a healthy drizzle! 
• SEA SALT: adjust salt to taste. I am fairly liberal. But you know your tastes. Haha. 
• PEPPER: I used fresh cracked black pepper. Add as much or as little as you’d like. 
• GARLIC POWDER: this is optional. I’ve tried this recipe with simply salt and pepper and it’s still DELICIOUS! The garlic though adds an extra flavor profile which is so tasty. Use around 1/4 tsp per 3 beets.
