These air-fryer beets turn crisp on the outside with tender centers—just like roasted potatoes, but faster and more nutrient-dense. Ready in under 20 minutes, they deliver fiber, antioxidants, and natural sweetness. Paired with a cool mint yogurt dip, this dish is simple, fresh, and satisfying.

Ingredients
Beets:
4 medium beets
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
Black pepper, to taste
Yogurt Dip:
¾ cup 2% plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped mint
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ tablespoon lemon zest
Pinch of garlic powder (optional)
Pinch of salt
Preparation
- Peel and slice each beet into 8 pieces. In a mixing bowl, toss the beets, oil, salt, and pepper together.
- Transfer the beets to the basket of an air fryer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches as you want a single layer. Set the temperature to 390 °F and cook for 18 to 20 minutes, or until fork tender.
- Meanwhile, prepare the yogurt dip. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mint, olive oil, lemon zest, garlic powder (if using), and salt.
- Remove the beets from the air fryer and serve with the yogurt dip.
