Air Fryer Broccoli (So Easy!)

Air Fryer Broccoli uses olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to season broccoli florets cooked at high heat in an air fryer. This method yields broccoli with a crispy exterior and tender inside. It offers a simple way to prepare broccoli with intensified flavor and satisfying texture, suitable as a healthy side dish or snack.

Description

This recipe calls for tossing broccoli florets with extra-virgin olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. The florets are then air fried at 390°F (200°C) for 7 to 9 minutes, shaking once to ensure even cooking. This technique crisps the broccoli's edges while maintaining some tender interior texture.

Adding a tablespoon of water at the bottom of the air fryer basket before cooking can increase steam for softer broccoli if desired. The process is straightforward, producing a flavorful vegetable with minimal fuss.

Air fryer broccoli pairs well as a side for various mains or as a snack with dips. It’s quick to prepare and easy to adjust seasoning to taste.

For convenience, using disposable liners can simplify cleanup.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 broccoli head
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Toss together. In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. Air fry the broccoli. Transfer the broccoli to the basket of an air fryer. Set the temperature to 390°F (200°C) and cook for 7 to 9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Pro tip: If you'd like the broccoli softer and more steamed rather than crispy, add 1 tablespoon of water to the bottom of the air fryer basket before cooking.
