Roasted Broccoli In The Air Fryer

Whether you love veggies or are trying to find new and exciting ways to get your kids to eat them, this air fried broccoli recipe is where it’s at! When you air fry broccoli it gets this nice crispiness on the breading that is insanely good.

So I’m still having the greatest time using my new Air Fryer  — between my air fryer and my Instant Pot, I no longer use the stove. LOL.

If you haven’t already been making vegetables in your air fryer, now is a great time to start. After you try this breaded broccoli, be sure to try my Air Fryer Roasted Carrots, Air Fryer Frozen Green Beans, and Air Fryer Blooming Onion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to use fresh broccoli?

Yes, I recommend when making this fried broccoli recipe that you use fresh. While you can cook frozen broccoli in the air fryer it won’t really work for this recipe due to the breading. Or skip the breading altogether and make roasted broccoli in the air fryer without breading.

Can I reheat breaded broccoli?

Absolutely! You can simply air fry broccoli for 5-6 minutes or until it’s hot and crispy. I recommend heating it at 340 degrees when reheating.

How do I choose the best broccoli?

  • Should be dense, the heavier the better.
  • Leaves on fresh broccoli are dark and green
  • Florets should be tight
  • No dark spots on the broccoli this shows that it is old, and should be avoided.
  • The broccoli’s stem should be white with no dark patches

Ingredients
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated
  • olive oil
Instructions
  1. In one bowl, mix the eggs and lemon, mix well, until they are frothy.

  2. Then in another bowl mix together the bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese.

  3. Then dip the broccoli into the egg mixture, shaking off the excess.

  4. Then dip it into the bread crumb mixture, shaking off the excess.

  5. As you coat them, place in a greased air fryer basket or air fryer tray (both coated with olive oil spray, so they won’t stick)

  6. GENEROUSLY spray the bread crumb mixture with olive oil, this way it will crisp up.

  7. Then set the temperature to 340 degrees F, for 5 minutes, after 5 minutes flip or shake and spray more olive oil on the other side.

  8. Plate, serve and enjoy!
