Ingredients
  

For the Broccoli
  • 1 head Broccoli florets Fresh florets guarantee the best crunch; frozen can be used but may yield a softer texture.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil Enhances flavor and helps achieve that beautiful golden color.
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Adds a mild, tasty kick.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for bringing out the flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper Infuses a subtle warmth and depth.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Broccoli
  1. Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold water. Cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Arrange the coated broccoli florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  5. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Check for doneness; broccoli should be crispy on the outside and tender inside. Adjust cooking time if needed.
  7. Serve immediately as a side dish, optionally adding grated Parmesan cheese or lemon juice.
