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.
