Ingredients
Scale
Broccoli
- 5 cups Broccoli florets
Seasoning & Dressing
- 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
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and allow it to preheat. This ensures the broccoli cooks evenly and crisps up nicely.
- Season the Broccoli: In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the broccoli florets with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the broccoli, then toss well to evenly coat every piece with the seasoning and oil.
- Air Fry the Broccoli: Place the seasoned broccoli in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If necessary, work in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 5 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning. The broccoli should be tender with nicely browned edges once done.
Notes
- For best results, cut broccoli florets into uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
- Adjust the air frying time slightly according to the size of your florets and how crispy you prefer them.
- Use fresh broccoli for optimal flavor and texture.
- You can add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes after cooking for extra flavor.
