Air Fryer Broccoli Recipe
Description
The "Air Fryer Broccoli Recipe" is a simple preparation that involves coating fresh broccoli florets with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Once evenly coated, the broccoli is arranged in the air fryer basket and cooked at 390°F for 7 to 9 minutes. This high, dry heat cooking produces broccoli with a tender interior and lightly crisped edges, enhancing its natural flavors.
This method requires minimal oil and a short cooking time compared to traditional roasting. The broccoli’s slight char and garlic seasoning provide a savory complement to meals. The recipe notes various ways to garnish the finished dish such as a squeeze of lemon juice to add brightness, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for richness, or fresh chopped herbs like parsley to add color and freshness.
Leftover broccoli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can be reheated either in the microwave or returned to the air fryer to regain some crispness. Serving fresh is best to maintain texture.
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli about 1 lb, trimmed into florets, fresh
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients. Toss until the broccoli is evenly coated.
- Add the broccoli to the Air Fryer basket, then close and set to 390 degrees for 7-9 minutes or until it’s to “roasted” level you prefer.
Notes
- Store leftover broccoli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the microwave or air fryer to restore texture.
- Add a light squeeze of lemon juice just before serving to brighten the flavor without sogginess.
- Enhance with grated Parmesan cheese or toss with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or chives for extra flavor.
