1. Prep the Broccoli: Wash the broccoli florets and dry them thoroughly. This helps the oil and seasonings stick better and ensures a crispy finish.

2. Mix the Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes. Mix these ingredients well to create your flavor base.

3. Toss the Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the bowl with your seasoning mix. Toss everything together until the florets are evenly coated. Make sure each piece is well-covered for the best flavor.

4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Turn on your air fryer and preheat it to 375°F. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect crispiness.

5. Cook the Broccoli: Arrange the broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. Air fry at 375°F for about 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and slightly browned. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to promote even crisping.

6. Season to Taste: Once cooked, taste a small piece and add a pinch of salt if needed. Sometimes the soy sauce provides enough saltiness, but adjust according to your preference.

7. Serve Immediately: Transfer the cooked broccoli to a serving dish and sprinkle with extra sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or a healthy snack.
