I love roasted broccoli, in my opinion it is the best way to prepare it! However it can take awhile to heat up the oven and roast the broccoli.

Other ways to season this broccoli- I love this broccoli with just a few simple spices but there are other great options you can add to change up the flavor. This is a great side dish to tweak to go with any meal! If you like a little spice a sprinkle of red pepper flakes is a great addition. One of our favorites is a sprinkle of fresh grated parmesan cheese or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. It is also delicious drizzled with a creamy cheese sauce! For a little Asian flair an addition of ginger and sesame seeds are delicious!
Tips for air frying broccoli-
Unlike most air fryer recipes it is ok if the broccoli isn’t in a single layer. About half way through the cooking time you’ll toss the broccoli to mix it so all of the pieces get nice and crispy.
Use fresh broccoli- For best results you’ll want to use fresh broccoli florets for this recipe. Frozen broccoli has excess water and won’t result in the nice crisp edges that are the best part of crispy air fryer broccoli.
Cook time may vary- Depending on your style and size of air fryer and the size of your florets it may take a little more or less time to cook. Cooking time will also depend on how crispy you like your broccoli. Keep an eye on the the tips of the florets because they will brown first. The high heat will brown them quickly so keep an eye on them.
