Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and nutritional yeast. Stir well to form a smooth, even mixture.
Step 4
Add the broccoli florets to the mixing bowl, tossing them gently but thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned broccoli florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Air fry the broccoli for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even crisping. Cook until the broccoli is tender on the inside and crispy on the edges.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the broccoli from the air fryer and place it on a serving plate. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving to enhance the crispy texture.
Step 8
Serve the crispy air fried broccoli as a healthy side dish, or enjoy it as a nutritious snack on its own.
