Tips For Making Crispy Beet Chips

Slice Thin and Even – Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the beets super thin. Even slices make sure they all cook up nice and crunchy at the same time – no soggy or burnt chips here!
Pat Them Dry – Give those beet slices a quick pat-down with a paper towel before you season. Getting rid of that extra moisture helps them crisp up perfectly in the air fryer.
Don’t Overcrowd – Spread the slices out in a single layer, so they have plenty of room to get nice and crunchy. If you’re making a big batch, do it in a few rounds. It’s worth the extra time for that perfect crunch!

Variations

Here are three fun ways to switch up your air fryer beet chips and keep snack time exciting!

Rosemary and Sea Salt – Try swapping the dill for rosemary and sprinkle with a bit of sea salt. It adds a lovely, earthy flavor that pairs so well with the beet chips!
Spicy Chili Lime – For a little kick, sprinkle chili powder and a squeeze of lime juice over the beet slices. This gives them a fun, tangy twist that’s hard to resist!
Parmesan and Garlic – Mix in a touch of Parmesan and garlic powder with the olive oil. It adds a cheesy, savory flavor that kids (and grown-ups) will love!

How To Store Beet Chips

To keep those beet chips nice and crunchy, let them cool completely first – this helps avoid any sogginess. Then, store them in an airtight container at room temperature, where they’ll stay crispy for a few days. If they start to lose their crunch, just pop them back in the air fryer for a quick minute to crisp them up again.

Best Dipping Sauce For Beet Chips

If you’re looking for dips and sauces to pair with your beetroot chips, try one of the following:

Garlic Herb Yogurt Dip: Creamy Greek yogurt mixed with garlic, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lemon. The tanginess is perfect with earthy beet chips!
Spicy Sriracha Mayo: A bit of heat goes a long way! Mix mayo with a dash of sriracha for a creamy, spicy kick.
Sour Cream Dipping Sauce For Chips: Mix sour cream with fresh herbs like dill, chives, and parsley, along with a pinch of garlic powder and a squeeze of lemon juice. It’s creamy, refreshing, and pairs perfectly with the earthy crunch of beet chips!
Herby Ranch Dipping Sauce: A ranch dipping sauce for chips is always a winner in my house. Perfect for beetroot chips and other veggies.
Caramelized Onion Dip: With chives is a creamy, flavorful appetizer that takes classic onion dip to the next level.
