WHAT YOU NEED-
- Broccoli– For the best results you want to use fresh broccoli florets! You can use frozen broccoli but it will not be as crispy.
- Oil– You can drizzle the broccoli with olive oil, canola oil, avocado oil, or any other oil you prefer.
- Flavor– For the seasoning, we use salt, pepper, and garlic powder. We also love to add old bay seasoning for a kick, but you can use any other seasonings you like!
HOW TO MAKE BROCCOLI IN AIR FRYER
- Prep– Cut the broccoli into medium sized florets and add in a bowl. Toss the florets with seasoning and oil.
- Air Fry– Add the seasoned broccoli into the air fryer and cook at 400F for 7-8 minutes, or until they reach desired crispiness.
- Serve– Top the florets with fresh chopped greens and parmesan cheese and enjoy!
