10 Minute Crispy Air Fryer Broccoli
Description
To make the 10 Minute Crispy Air Fryer Broccoli, fresh broccoli florets are tossed with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. The olive oil evenly coats the florets which helps them crisp in the air fryer while locking in moisture.
Cooked at 375°F for 8 minutes with a halfway shake, the broccoli develops slight crispness on the tips and edges. The interior remains tender but not mushy. The garlic powder introduces a subtle aromatics without overpowering the vegetable’s fresh flavor.
These crispy broccoli florets can be served immediately as a simple side dish or snack. For an optional variation, adding minced garlic and parmesan cheese before cooking combines savory and cheesy elements, lending a richer flavor and aroma.
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add broccoli, olive oil, garlic powder, salt & pepper to a large bowl and toss to combine.
- Transfer to air fryer and set to 375F for 8 minutes. Shake halfway through.
- Once the timer goes off, remove and serve immediately.
Notes
- For garlic parmesan variation, add minced garlic and parmesan cheese when tossing broccoli before air frying.
- Shake the basket halfway through cooking to promote even crisping.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
