Perfect Air Fryer Broccoli (With a little crunch)
This air fryer broccoli is still a little green with a slight crunch. It's not soggy or overcooked, in my opinion, it's just right. It's ready in less than 15 minutes so it's great for a quick veggie side on a busy night. If you're needing to double the recipe just cook it in 2 batches or 2 separate air fryer baskets if you have a double cooking air fryer.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 oz. fresh broccoli washed and cut into small florets
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Spices
- Just shy of 1/4 tsp fine sea salt if you need to use less sodium, start with about 1/8 tsp and then adjust the salt after cooking
- 1/4 tsp granulated garlic powder or garlic powder fine
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp fine ground pepper
- Squeeze of lemon
Garnish/Add on post Air Fry (Optional)
- Fresh shaved or grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Toss the broccoli with the olive oil in a medium bowl or right in your air fryer basket if you have nonstick baskets.
- Mix together your spices and sprinkle on the oiled broccoli and toss again.
- Set your air fryer to 350 degrees. Pre-heat for 3 mins. Air Fry broccoli for 8 minutes, toss once half-way through
- Once your cook time is complete, move your broccoli to a serving dish immediately to keep it from over-cooking.
- At this point you can squeeze a little lemon juice to the broccoli bowl or directly on plates. Same goes for the parmesan if you so choose to. Up to you.
