Ingredients you Need to Make Air Fryer Broccoli

You just need 2-ingredients and some seasoning to make these roasted Air Fryer Broccoli.

  • Broccoli Heads: Remove the stems from Broccoli and just use the florets for this recipe. Though some people do prefer the steam I really don't know how long it would take the steam to get fried in an Air Fryer.
  • Olive Oil: Just 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil to lightly grease Broccoli Florets. Please do not use cooking spray instead of Olive Oil. You can pour your Olive oil into a spray bottle and then use it for this recipe.
  • Seasoning: For seasoning, we'll need Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper. That's it.

Optional Ingredients you can add:

  • Onion Powder: Though there is no need but if you want you can add some Onion powder while making Air Fryer Broccoli. Onion Powder will add a sweetish touch to your broccoli.
  • Parmesan Cheese: If you want a cheesy coating on your crispy Air Fried Broccoli then go ahead and add some grated Parmesan Cheese.

Crispy Air Fryer Broccoli Tips

These important tips will help you make your broccoli with so much ease.

  • Do not Use Cooking Spray: Cooking Spray has harmful chemicals that might destroy the non-stick coating in your Air Fryer basket.
  • Use Avocado Oil or Olive Oil: Avocado oil has a high smoke point and it is so healthy. As an alternative to Olive Oil, you can use Avocado Oil as well.
  • Do not overcook: If you overcook your Broccoli in an Air-Fryer it will turn too brown and will not taste good. I would suggest cooking it at 400F FOR 5-Minutes. You can also shake midway at say 3-minute mark for a crispier coating.
