Notes
- *Why preheat? We don't usually preheat our air fryer, but in the case of frozen vegetables, we want high heat right away to prevent sogginess!
- Shrink alert! These shrink a lot during cooking due to the high water content. If you're feeding a crowd, be sure to scale up the recipe.
- Only have fresh broccoli? You can air fry any veggie you like! This is a great way to cook old favorites or try something new.
- Oil-Free: While the air fryer does a great job circulating hot air, using a bit of oil will achieve maximum crispness. You can omit if you want, but it won't brown as much.
