Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broccoli: Wash and cut the large head of broccoli into florets of approximately equal size to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season the Broccoli: In a mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
  3. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow for proper air circulation and even crisping.
  4. Air Fry the Broccoli: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure the broccoli cooks evenly on all sides.
  5. Serve Immediately: Once crispy and tender with slight browning on the edges, remove the broccoli from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes after air frying.
  • Do not overcrowd the basket to achieve a crispy texture – cook in batches if needed.
  • Adjust the cooking time slightly depending on the size of your broccoli florets and air fryer model.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the air fryer for best results.
