Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. It's important to dry them well to ensure they become crispy while air-frying.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to toss everything together until the broccoli is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 3
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Place the seasoned broccoli in the air fryer basket, making sure to spread them out in a single layer for even cooking.
Step 5
Air fry the broccoli at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure all sides of the broccoli get crispy.
Step 6
After the broccoli has finished air-frying, transfer it to a serving bowl and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot broccoli. Toss gently to ensure the cheese melts slightly and coats the broccoli.
Step 7
For a touch of heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the broccoli before serving, if desired.
Step 8
Serve the air-fried crispy broccoli immediately as a side dish or a healthy snack.
