Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 beetroots

Instructions
 

  • Wash and clean the beetroots thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry.
  • Peel off their skin and slice them into rounds about 2-3 mm thick or grate them using a box grater.
  • Spread in a thin, even layer in your lined Air Fryer basket and air fry for 20-30 minutes.
  • Let the dehydrated pieces cool down completely, check and air fry again if needed to dry completely.
  • Transfer to a clean, dry mixer grinder jar and grind until you get a smooth powder.
  • Sift through a fine mesh sieve to remove any coarse bits and re-grind if needed.
  • Store in an airtight jar or container.

Notes

  • Choose firm, fresh beetroots and scrub them thoroughly before peeling and slicing.
  • Slice the beetroot into evenly sized 2–3 mm rounds so they dry uniformly. Grated beetroot works too, but spread it loosely to prevent clumping.
  • Arrange the pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary to allow proper air circulation.
  • Check the beetroot periodically during drying, as the time can vary depending on the thickness of the slices and your air fryer.
  • Let the dried beetroot cool completely before grinding. It should snap or crumble easily rather than bend.
  • Use a completely clean and dry grinder jar to prevent moisture from making the powder clump.
  • Sift the ground powder through a fine-mesh sieve and regrind any larger pieces for a smooth, even consistency.
  • Store the completely dried powder in an airtight jar in a cool, dark, dry place. Always use a dry spoon.
