Air Fryer Broccoli

Air Fryer Broccoli

One of my go-to side dishes is roasted vegetables, but they take a while and that requires turning on the oven. I’ve recently discovered that I can make roasted vegetables in the air fryer in a fraction of the time and they’re just as caramelized and delicious. All you need is a bit of oil and a few minutes for perfectly crisp-tender Air Fryer Broccoli! It’s got addictively crispy edges, the bright flavor of lemon and it’s ready in about 10 minutes!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp - olive oil
  • ½ tsp - garlic powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • ¼ tsp - black pepper
  • ½ - lemon
  • 12 ounces - broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. Cut up the broccoli florets into uniform medium-sized pieces and place in a bowl.
  2. Toss the broccoli with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper until well coated.
  3. Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  4. 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.
  5. Place the broccoli in a bowl and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving. Enjoy!
