Ingredients for Air Fryer Broccoli

It only requires a few basic ingredients - Broccoli florets, a tablespoon of oil and seasoning of choice.

• A medium Broccoli head, cut into florets
• Oil. I like to use Olive oil because it has a more mild, versatile flavor profile.
• Seasoning salt. I like to use Roast Vegetables spice blend.
• Dash of pepper. Add a dash of freshly ground black pepper.
• Dash of garlic and onion powder. Something about the way broccoli and garlic tastes irresistible.
• A sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese. The addition of parmesan cheese at the end gives Air fryer broccoli an amazingly appetizing aroma.

How to make Broccoli in the Air Fryer

1. Use broccoli florets. Using a chef’s knife, cut off the broccoli floret right where the stem meets the larger stalk. Or you may find that a lot of supermarkets now sell pre-cut broccoli florets.
2. Air fry! Set your Air fryer to 375 °F (190 °C) and cook broccoli for 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
3. Serve and enjoy. Enjoy this easy delicious broccoli recipe. It’s very addictive. Feel free to dip it in your favorite sauce. May I suggest pairing it with homemade Chipotle sauce, which has been a delicious addition to many of my air fryer dishes.

What to serve with Air-fried crispy Broccoli?

You can serve it as a side dish with meat steak bites or any other meal that you love to eat.

It is also a good evening snack so that you can enjoy it at your tea time with dipping sauce.

Can I use Frozen broccoli?

Yes, you can use the frozen broccoli, but it will be mushy if you do not cook it at a high temperature and low timings. Set the timing of 5 minutes, and check it again and again after 1-2 minutes. If broccoli florets yet not cooked, give more timing until it cooks properly.

How to store leftover roasted Broccoli?

Yes, you can store leftover roasted broccoli. Place the leftover broccoli in the air-tight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will remain fresh for 4 to 5 days.
