Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 large head broccoli around 1.5 lbs cut into bite sized florets
  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan (fresh or pre shredded in a can)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Garnishes

  • red chili flakes

Instructions
 

  • Toss the broccoli florets in oil, parmesan, salt and pepper. Massage the florets to get the seasonings to every nook and cranny.
  • Add about 2 tablespoon of water to the air fryer basket. Place the florets in a single layer on the inner air fryer basket (perforated).
  • Roast at 375°F for 8 to 9 minutes. Shake the air fryer basket half way through.
  • Garnish with chili flakes and more parmesan.

Notes

  • Cut the broccoli into even bite sized pieces.
  • Add about 2 tablespoons of water to the air fryer basket to get crispy but tender broccoli.
  • Place the broccoli in a single layer on the air fryer basket. Cook in batches. After cooking, place all the broccoli in the basket and heat it up for a minute.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge, covered for 2 to 3 days.
