Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the dried broccoli florets into the bowl and toss them well until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Place the seasoned broccoli florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Air fry the broccoli at 375°F (190°C) for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
Step 7
Check the broccoli for doneness. It should be crispy and slightly brown on the edges. If needed, add additional 2 minutes of cooking time.
Step 8
Carefully remove the broccoli from the air fryer and serve immediately as a healthy side dish or a crunchy snack.
