Air Fryer Roasted Broccoli
Description
This Air Fryer Roasted Broccoli recipe takes trimmed fresh broccoli and coats it evenly with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. By adding water under the air fryer basket, it reduces smoke during cooking. The broccoli is air fried at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 7 minutes, resulting in a tender yet slightly crisp vegetable side with a roasted character.
The technique preserves broccoli’s vibrant green color and nutrients while creating a subtle caramelized flavor from the dry heat roasting. Using the air fryer allows quick cooking and even heat distribution without added fats besides the small amount of olive oil.
Serving about one cup per serving, this is an easy vegetable side to complement various main dishes, offering a nutritious and flavorful green option. The seasoning is kept simple, showcasing the natural flavor of broccoli enhanced by the light oil and seasoning.
