These simple roasted air fryer beets and sweets have just 5 ingredients and need 15 minutes to cook. They’re a beautiful, delicious, and easy side dish for the fall or anytime!

Ingredients

  • 3 mediumsweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½" cubes ((about 2-3 cups))
  • 2 mediumbeets, peeled and diced into ½" cubes ((around 1 cup))
  • 2 tbspolive oil
  • 1 tspsalt ((or more to taste))
  • ½ tspblack pepper ((or more to taste))

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (or add a few minutes to cooking time if you skip this step)

  2. 2

    In a mixing bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes and beets with the olive oil, salt, and pepper, stirring to evenly coat

  3. 3

    Spread the vegetables into the preheated air fryer basket or rack in a single layer (slight overlap is alright, but otherwise cook in batches for best results)

  4. 4

    Cook on the air fry setting at 400°F for 15 minutes, pausing around halfway through to shake the basket (I use a spatula to stir them around), until they are fork tender and browned to your liking

  5. 5

    Top with any toppings desired, and serve hot or warm
