Ingredients
- 2 large yellow, red and/or Chioggia beets (1 1/2 pounds), peeled
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp grated lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Cut beets into 1/2-inch-thick sticks; toss in a medium bowl with oil, salt and pepper. Working in batches if needed, carefully transfer the beets to the fryer basket; cook, tossing once, until golden brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate; repeat with remaining beets, if needed.
- Meanwhile, combine feta, oregano, parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl. Spoon over the cooked beets and serve immediately.
