Crispy Air Fryer Broccoli
A crunchy and flavorful air-fried broccoli side dish, perfect for a nutritious addition to any meal.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and rinse them under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil until well-coated. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and toss again.
Cooking
- Place the seasoned broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
- Cook the broccoli for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Check for doneness; the broccoli should be crispy and golden brown. Remove from the fryer.
Serving
- Serve immediately as a side dish, snack, or in salads. Optional: sprinkle grated cheese on top before serving.
Notes
For best results, ensure even-sized florets and dry broccoli thoroughly. Experiment with spices for added flavor, and remember to shake the basket halfway through cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, reheating in the air fryer for maximum crispiness.
