Ingredients
Scale
Broccoli
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 1.5 – 2 heads of broccoli)
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ⅓ cup parmesan, grated
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ – ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Broccoli: In a medium bowl, combine the fresh broccoli florets with olive oil, grated parmesan, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and cracked pepper. Toss everything well until the broccoli is evenly coated with the seasoning mix.
- Preheat and Air Fry: Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking. Place the coated broccoli in the basket, spreading it out as evenly as possible into a single layer. Set the air fryer to 370°F and cook for 9-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even roasting and crisping.
- Serve: Once cooked and crispy, transfer the broccoli to a serving dish. Garnish immediately with an extra sprinkle of parmesan cheese and serve hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure to shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
- Use fresh broccoli florets for the best texture and taste.
- Adjust salt to taste depending on your preference or dietary needs.
- For extra crispiness, you can increase the cooking time by 1-2 minutes but watch closely to avoid burning.
- This recipe can be doubled but cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
