Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients

  • 3 cups broccoli florets rinsed and dried
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Wash the broccoli and cut into equal-sized florets.

  • Add broccoli florets and oil to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and gently toss or stir to completely coat the broccoli.
    A small green bowl of salt and pepper is sprinkled over a bowl of washed and cut broccoli florets.
  • Place broccoli into the air fryer basket.

  • Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes. Shake the broccoli in the air fryer basket after 5 minutes. Enjoy hot.

Notes

  • Make sure you dry the broccoli. After you wash the broccoli, dry it thoroughly before adding it to the air fryer. Any water left in the florets will turn the air fryer into a steamer, and that will prevent browning.
  • This recipe can be made in an air fryer unit with a basket or an air fryer oven. If you are using an air fryer oven, use the middle rack and choose the “Air Fry” function.
  • Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Halfway through the cooking time, pull out your air fryer basket and shake it a bit to turn the broccoli and allow it to cook evenly.
