Instructions
- Begin by washing and cutting the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Once preheated, place the broccoli florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.
- Cook the broccoli for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The broccoli should be tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
- If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the broccoli during the last 2 minutes of cooking for a cheesy finish.
- Remove the broccoli from the air fryer and serve hot as a side dish.
Chef’s Tips
- For extra crunch, you can add a few minutes to the cooking time, but keep an eye on the broccoli to prevent burning.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings like lemon zest or a splash of balsamic vinegar for added flavor.
- Leftover roasted broccoli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and enjoyed cold in salads or reheated!
