Ingredients:

  • 1 lb broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
  2. Place 1 lb broccoli florets in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle the florets with 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
  4. Toss thoroughly until every crevice of the floret is coated in oil.
  5. Transfer the broccoli to the air fryer basket in a single layer; cook in batches if they don't fit in one layer to ensure airflow.
  6. Air fry for 6 minutes.
  7. Open the basket and shake vigorously or toss with tongs.
  8. Continue cooking for another 3 to 6 minutes, or until the tips are mahogany-colored and crisp.
  9. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli during the final 2 minutes of cooking to allow it to melt and form a golden crust.
  10. Remove from the basket and serve immediately.
