Air Fryer Broccoli (So Easy!)
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
- 1 broccoli head
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Toss together. In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- 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.
Notes
- Consider using disposable liners in the air fryer basket for easier cleanup.
