Peel beets and slice paper-thin with a mandoline (1/16 inch or thinner).
Pat slices completely dry between paper towels — this is critical for crispiness.
Toss with olive oil and salt. Arrange in a single layer without overlapping.
Air fry at 340°F for 12-15 minutes, checking and removing chips as they crisp (edges first). They crisp more as they cool.
Season with your choice of seasoning while still warm.
Tip: A mandoline is essential — you can't slice thin enough by hand. Lower temperature and longer time prevents burning while allowing moisture to evaporate. They'll seem slightly soft when hot but crisp up as they cool. Work in batches for best results.
