Ingredients
3 to 4 cups broccoli florets the main vegetable for a nutritious base
2 tablespoons olive oil helps achieve crispy edges and adds healthy fats
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder provides a subtle, aromatic flavor boost
1/4 teaspoon salt balances the flavors and enhances natural taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper adds a touch of heat and depth
2 tablespoons minced garlic for the garlic parmesan variation, to intensify the garlic taste
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese for the garlic parmesan variation, to add a cheesy, savory element
Instructions
1-First, wash and dry 3 to 4 cups of broccoli florets to remove any dirt. This helps them crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
2-Next, in a bowl, toss the florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until everything coats evenly.
3-For the garlic parmesan twist, mix in 2 tablespoons of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese at this stage.
4-Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, which takes just a couple of minutes.
5-Then, arrange the seasoned broccoli in a single layer in the basket for even cooking.
6-Cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure uniform crispiness.
7-If you’re using frozen broccoli, skip thawing and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes instead.
8-Once done, serve it hot for the best taste.
