Air-Fryer Roasted Asian Broccoli
Description
This recipe begins by coating broccoli florets with peanut oil, minced garlic, and salt, ensuring each piece is well seasoned. The broccoli is arranged in a single layer in an air fryer basket to achieve even roasting at high heat. Cooking for 15-20 minutes develops crispy browned edges while keeping the florets tender inside.
While roasting, a sauce is prepared by blending honey, reduced-sodium soy sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar, briefly warmed to combine the flavors. Tossing the hot broccoli in this bright and spicy sauce imparts a balanced sweet-heat flavor with umami depth.
Finished with roasted salted peanuts for texture and an optional squeeze of fresh lime juice, this dish pairs well as a flavorful vegetable side or a snack component with occasional citrus brightness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound broccoli cut into florets
- 1½ tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- salt to taste
- 2 teaspoons honey or agave nectar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce reduced-sodium
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ⅓ cup peanuts roasted, salted
- lime juice optional, fresh
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss together the broccoli, peanut oil, and garlic. Season with salt. Make sure all the broccoli florets are coated.
- Spread the broccoli into the wire basket of your air fryer in a single layer. Try to leave some space between each floret. If you run out of space, consider cooking in batches.
- Air fry the broccoli at 400℉ until golden brown and crispy, about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway.
- While the broccoli cooks, mix together the honey, soy sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture for 10-15 seconds until the honey is evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the cooked broccoli to a bowl and add the soy sauce mixture. Toss to coat and season to taste with a pinch more salt, if needed.
- Stir in the peanuts and squeeze lime on top, if desired. Serve hot.
