1teaspoonkosher salt
1teaspoonblack pepper
1teaspoongarlic powder, optional
1/2cupParmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Start by washing and cutting the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry with a towel to ensure they crisp up in the air fryer.
In a mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated. You can also add garlic powder or other seasonings for extra flavor.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned broccoli, ensuring an even coating.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Place the seasoned broccoli in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd it. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the broccoli is tender and the cheese is golden and crispy.
Once done, carefully remove the broccoli from the air fryer and serve immediately.
