Air Fryer Beetroot Chips – Beet Chips: guiltfree, crispy, flavorful, easy and 4 ingredients beetroot chips/beet chips in air-fryer using colorful beets (chukandar), oil, vinegar, and seasonings. Also known as chukandar chips in India. 

Can We Make Beetroot Chips / Beet Chips in Air-Fryer:

Everytime someone has these chips, they look at me and ask this question and my answer is always a ‘Big YES’! 

Also, known as ‘Chukandar Chips‘ in India or Beetroot Crisps.

These thin, crispy, and colorful chips are my goto nutritious snacks that can be made instantly …okay about 15 minutes and that’s quite instantly as per me 🙂

Air-fryers have been one of my favorite electronic gadgets and I’ve been using it from the very first time they came onto the market. I love how ergonomic and convenient they are to use as compared to traditional ovens and definitely much less space is needed to store them.

So, I’ve tried tons of chips/crisps recipes in them but this one is handsdown a WINNER everytime they are made!!

You can a Perfect Crisp with Minimum Oil & Effort and what more can you ask from a recipe that you want to call instant and loved?

 I especially love this version of the chips as they are extremely thin and are much much cheaper than the versions available in stores.

And you can make a huge batch to satisfy those hunger or salty cravings without any guilt.

Air-Fryer Beetroot Chips Ingredients: 

These colorful beet crisps require only 4 ingredients and are super easy to find in any store or home:

 

– Beetroot:  choose firm or fresh beets (no frozen or over-ripe beets) for crispy chips

– Oil: you can use any oil of choice including olive, sunflower, coconut, etc

– Vinegar: this is extremely important as it results in crispy chips

– Seasoning: Salt and Red Chilies: use as per choice and the possibilities are endless.

 

I’ve taken 2 different colors of beets, but you can use any colors or shapes. Just remember to clean them, peel, and slice them evenly.

Pro TIP:

The beetroots (chukandar) should be cold or kept in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours, this results in crisp and even slicing.

Room-temperature beetroots are slightly lumpy or soft to slice.

I used a handheld mechanical slicer for this thin and even slicing, but you can use a food processor with a slicer blade or a knife to thinly slice.

Making the Air Fryer Beet Chips

It’s really easy to make these chips and your best friend apart from the air-fryer would be a peeler and slicer for this particular recipe.

It makes life so much easier and quick using these 3 things.

Clean & Slice the Beetroot:

Wear gloves if you do not want your hands colored pink while using beets.

We start by trimming any stems and leaves attached to the beetroot.

Then we clean them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.

Then pat them dry and keep in the fridge for sometime.

Remove the beets from the fridge and peel them.

Now, using a slicer/knife or food processor, thinly slice them. (if using different colored beetroots/beets/chukandar, start with lighter colors and move to dark to prevent having them all colored).

Keep the slices submerged in chilled water till you are ready to make the recipe (this retains crispiness).

Seasoning the Slices:

Now, take an air-fryer safe dish and add the lighter color beet slices first.

Add oil, vinegar, and seasoning.

Mix evenly and keep aside.

 

Air Frying the Beetroot Chips:

Preheat the air-fryer at 220F (104 C) for 3 minutes.

Remove the air-fryer basket and place the seasoned chips on it (Donot overcrowd the basket by layering the slices on top of each other as this will result in uneven crispiness).

Air-Fry for 10 minutes (you can open and stir the slices in between using a wooden spatula).

Remove the chips from the basket and place them in a serving bowl.

Similarly, make all the chips from leftover seasoned slices.  

You can serve these chips immediately as they are really thin and will turn soggy if left out for a long time.

Serving and Storage Tips:

Once the chips are made, they can be served right away. Since these chips are really thin, storing them for a longer time is not advisable.

You can store them for a day or two in an air-tight container.

I like to sprinkle some more seasoning on top of these chips when serving.

Since, beets are sweeter in nature, you can use seasoning like red chili powder, black pepper or even cajun seasoning to make them taste extra delicious.

These beetroot chips are also high in antioxidant properties, natural, and filled with nutritious properties.

Beets are also rich in fiber.

So whether you are craving a quick snack or guiltfree snacks or something that you can wow your loved ones, these are a perfect option.
