Notes

  • Cook longer for softer broccoli.
  • If you don’t like charred ends, lower the temperature to 370°F (185°C) and cook for 10 minutes.
  • If you don’t have an olive oil sprayer, put the florets in a bowl and toss with olive oil instead.
  • Check for doneness by testing the broccoli with a fork – it should be tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
  • Season the broccoli with your choice of spices, such as smoked paprika, onion powder, ranch powder, lemon juice, or parmesan cheese for added flavor.

All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
