Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the broccoli by washing the head thoroughly under cold running water. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Ensure they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and toss them well to ensure they are coated evenly with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Step 6
Once the air fryer is preheated, add the seasoned broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Air fry the broccoli for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispness. Check for doneness; the broccoli should be tender and slightly crispy with a vibrant green color.
Step 8
Once cooked to your liking, remove the broccoli from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving bowl.
Step 9
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the cooked broccoli and toss lightly to combine.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a nutritious side dish or a healthy snack.
