Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing and thoroughly drying 500 grams of broccoli florets. Ensure they are cut into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss the broccoli until well-coated with the oil.
Step 3
Sprinkle the broccoli with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to ensure each floret is seasoned evenly.
Step 4
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Once preheated, place the broccoli in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. If necessary, cook them in batches.
Step 6
Air fry the broccoli at 200°C (390°F) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. The broccoli should be crispy and golden brown when done.
Step 7
After cooking, remove the broccoli from the air fryer and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of lemon zest for a fresh, zesty finish.
Step 8
Serve the crispy air-fried broccoli immediately as a side dish or a healthy snack. Enjoy!
