Air frying broccoli is a simple technique that reveals a world of flavor and texture. This method transforms broccoli into a crispy side dish that's sure to impress.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Transfer the seasoned broccoli to the air fryer basket, arranging the florets in a single layer. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the broccoli is crispy and tender.
For even crispier results, consider tossing the broccoli in a small amount of cornstarch or parmesan cheese before air frying. Adjust the cooking time as needed, depending on the size and quantity of your broccoli florets.
