Ingredients

Scale

Broccoli

  • 5 cups Broccoli florets

Seasoning

  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees F (193 degrees C) to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking the broccoli evenly and quickly.
  2. Prepare the broccoli: In a large bowl, drizzle the broccoli florets with olive oil and lemon juice. Add garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss everything well to evenly coat the broccoli with the seasoning.
  3. Air fry the broccoli: Arrange the seasoned broccoli in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for about 5 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping. The broccoli should be tender with some browned edges when done.

Notes

  • Cooking time may vary slightly based on the size of broccoli florets and your specific air fryer model.
  • For extra flavor, you can sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese after air frying.
  • Work in batches if your air fryer basket is small to avoid overcrowding and ensure crispy results.
  • Use fresh broccoli for best texture; frozen broccoli may require adjusted cooking times.
