Ingredients
- 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Optional add-ins:
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- Fresh lemon juice
- Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2–3 minutes.
- In a bowl, toss broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place broccoli in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Cook until broccoli is crispy on the edges and tender inside.
- Finish with lemon juice or Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Cut florets evenly for uniform cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket—cook in batches if needed.
- Add Parmesan in the last 2 minutes to prevent burning.
- Best served fresh for maximum crispiness.
