Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

Basic Air Fried Broccoli (see notes below for other variations)

  • 1 pound broccoli florets
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl toss the broccoli florets with the olive oil and salt.
  • Place the florets in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook for 5 minutes at 370º (the default temperature of my air fryer), shaking once half way through.
  • After 5 minutes check for doneness. It you like the broccoli a little al dente it's probably just right! If you like it a little more crispy and fork tender pop it back in for up to 3 more minutes.
  • Remove broccoli from air fryer and serve!
