Air Fryer Broccoli Recipe

For a quick and healthy side dish, try making air fryer broccoli. This simple recipe allows the florets to achieve that perfect crispiness while retaining their vibrant green colour and nutrients.

Ingredients:

• 300g broccoli, trimmed into florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• A sprinkle of grated Parmesan (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Broccoli: Begin by washing the broccoli and cutting it into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry with a tea towel to ensure they roast properly.

2. Season: In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

3. Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (about 390°F). Place the seasoned broccoli in the fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

4. Finish and Serve: Once the broccoli is tender with crispy edges, remove it from the air fryer. If you're feeling indulgent, sprinkle over some grated Parmesan for an extra layer of flavour. Serve warm as a delightful accompaniment to your favourite main dish.

Enjoy your air-fried broccoli—it's a delightful addition to any meal, bringing a burst of colour and nutrition to your plate!
