Ingredients
- 2 medium beets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Step 1: Wash and peel the beets, then slice them thinly using a sharp knife or a mandoline for even thickness.

- Step 3: Place the beet slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap.

FAQs
Can I use frozen beets to make beet chips?
It’s best to use fresh beets because frozen ones often contain extra moisture, which can prevent the chips from becoming crispy.
How thin should I slice the beets for the chips?
A thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm) works well to achieve crispy chips without burning.

- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Slicing the Beets: Wash and peel the beets, then use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice them into thin, uniform pieces approximately 1/8 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
