Air Fryer Broccoli Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 lemon (for squeezing)

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This helps achieve that crispy texture.
2. In a large mixing bowl (4-quart), toss 1 lb broccoli florets with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated. If you like some heat, add 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional).
3. Transfer the broccoli into the air fryer basket, spreading it out in an even layer for even cooking.
4. Air fry the broccoli for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the edges are crispy and the florets are tender. They should be vibrant green and lightly browned at the tips.
5. Remove the broccoli from the air fryer and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.
