Prepare the beets, carrots and potatoes by peeling them, then cut them into sticks of similar size.

In a large bowl, toss the vegetable sticks with the olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper, making sure they are evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 400 °F.
Once the air fryer is hot, arrange the vegetable sticks in a single layer in the basket. Do not overcrowd the basket for the best cooking; cook in batches if necessary.

Chef's tip

To ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness, make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. If your appliance is small, cook the fries in batches. Shake the basket vigorously halfway through cooking to distribute the heat evenly.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Once cooked and cooled. Up to 3 months in freezer bags. The texture will be less crispy after thawing and reheating.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the fridge. The texture may soften.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Cut the vegetables ahead and store in an airtight container in the fridge, optionally with a splash of water and lemon for the potatoes. Cook within 24h.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven preheated to 180°C for 10-15 minutes or air fryer 5-8 minutes at 180°C to get the crispiness back. Microwave possible but softens the texture.

Variations

Cut the beets, carrots and potatoes into sticks of similar size.
Shake the basket halfway through cooking.
Extend the cooking time by a few minutes if needed.

Mistakes to avoid

Overcrowding the basket: cook in batches if necessary.
Forgetting to shake the basket halfway through cooking.
Cutting sticks of different sizes: the cooking would be uneven.
