Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces broccoli florets (about 5-6 cups) cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
  • optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice or grated Parmesan for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  • Season the broccoli. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Air-fry. Spread the florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding). Air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the broccoli is crisp on the edges and tender inside.
  • Finish and serve. Taste and adjust seasoning. If desired, toss with a squeeze of lemon juice or sprinkle with Parmesan before serving.
