Instructions

Cut up the broccoli florets into uniform medium-sized pieces and place in a bowl.

Toss the broccoli with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper until well coated.

Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Air fry at 370 degrees for 8 minutes or until crisp tender and slightly charred, pausing to toss the broccoli halfway through the cooking time. All air fryers vary, so begin checking for doneness after 6 minutes as the broccoli can burn quickly.

Place the broccoli in a bowl and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Dry for Maximum Crispness 💧
Thoroughly pat broccoli florets dry with paper towels before tossing with oil—any moisture will create steam and prevent those addictively crispy edges from forming.
Don't Overcrowd the Basket 🧺
Arrange broccoli in a single layer with space between florets to allow hot air circulation; overcrowding creates steamed rather than roasted vegetables.
Shake Halfway for Even Browning 🔄
Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking (around 5 minutes) to ensure all sides caramelize evenly and no florets stick to the bottom.
Toast Garlic Powder Separately ✨
Bloom your garlic powder in the olive oil before tossing with broccoli to unlock deeper, more aromatic garlic flavor that won't taste raw or bitter.
Add Lemon at the End 🍋
Squeeze fresh lemon juice immediately after air frying while broccoli is still hot to maximize brightness and prevent the acid from affecting the crispy texture during cooking.
