Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to create a well-mixed spice blend.
Step 4
Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated in the spice blend.
Step 5
Once the broccoli is well coated, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and gently toss again to distribute the cheese.
Step 6
Arrange the broccoli florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd the basket to allow hot air to circulate freely, ensuring even cooking.
Step 7
Cook the broccoli in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure the broccoli crisps up evenly.
Step 8
Once the broccoli is golden brown and crispy, remove it from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving plate.
Step 9
Serve the crispy air fried broccoli immediately as a tasty low-carb snack or side dish. Enjoy!
