Air Fryer Broccoli
Description
Air Fryer Broccoli transforms fresh broccoli florets into a lightly crisp and roasted vegetable using avocado oil and simple seasonings including garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. The air fryer cooks them quickly and evenly at 360°F, allowing the florets to crisp up on the edges while remaining tender inside. The optional crushed red pepper adds a hint of heat for those who enjoy spice.
Serving the broccoli immediately with a squeeze or slice of fresh lemon adds a refreshing, acidic note that brightens the flavors. This preparation works well as a side dish to many meals where a lightly seasoned vegetable is desired.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Reheating in the air fryer or oven can help maintain crispness. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving again.
Ingredients
- 1 large broccoli about 4 cups of florets, cut into 1-inch florets, head

Instructions
