Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or still frozen)
- ½ teaspoon vegetable oil
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Wash and trim broccoli.
- Toss with oil, then toss with garlic powder, pepper, onion powder, and salt.
- Spray air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Add a tablespoon of water to the bottom and place broccoli into the air fryer.
- Cook at 400°F for 6 minutes. Shake the container after 3 minutes to make sure it’s cooking evenly. All machines cook differently so yours may cook faster.
- Remove from the air fryer. Toss and serve, adding additional salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Optional: when the broccoli is done, sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan or drizzle with lemon juice.
- Trim broccoli to equal sizes to have them cook evenly.
- Broccoli tastes great when it is cooked until bright green or even a little browned
on the edges. - Use an oil that can be cooked at high heat.
- The water helps the broccoli cook without smoking or overheating.
- Use your favorite seasonings. Try chili powder, cumin, curry powder, parsley or anything you like. If you use fresh garlic, don’t add it until the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
