Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Fresh broccoli florets (large)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil (or any cooking oil of your choice)
- Salt, to taste
- ½ teaspoon Garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)
- Lemon juice (optional, for a fresh zing)
Ingredient substitutions:
- Swap olive oil for avocado oil for a higher smoke point.
- Use soy sauce instead of salt for an umami flavor.
- Add chili flakes for a spicy kick.
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. This helps achieve that crispy broccoli recipe everyone loves.
- Start by washing your broccoli under cold water to clean it. Then, cut it into uniform-sized florets to ensure even cooking. Lightly coat the florets with olive oil and season with salt and your preferred spices for flavor. When choosing broccoli, opt for heads with tight, green florets and firm stalks. These are fresher and will yield the best texture and flavor once cooked.
- Place the seasoned broccoli in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they’re not overcrowded.
- Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes. It’s important to shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispiness.
Notes
- Adjust cooking time depending on how crispy you like your broccoli.
- Keep an eye on your broccoli during the last few minutes to prevent overcooking.
