Notes
- The Air Fryer I use and recommend is the Instant Vortex Air Fryer. I LOVE mine!
- The lemon juice is optional. It gives a nice brightness to the broccoli, but you can leave it out if you don't have any on hand or for a simpler version of air fried broccoli.
- Preheat your air fryer. I like to preheat my air fryer for a few minutes before adding the food. This ensures that the proper temperature has been reached and that your veggies will cook up perfectly.
- Shake the basket a few times. This will help to ensure even cooking and that all surfaces of your broccoli get equally crispy.
- To make this vegan, omit the parmesan cheese.
- How to store: Any leftover air fryer broccoli can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
