What’s in this Air Fried Broccoli Recipe
You only need a handful of simple ingredients to make broccoli in the Air Fryer. In fact, all you actually need is broccoli and oil, but I’ve added a couple of things into the mix for more flavor.
Broccoli: Cut a head of broccoli into florets. Cooking Oil: Use olive oil to coat the broccoli with the garlic and seasonings. Garlic: Mince 2 cloves of garlic. Parmesan: Sprinkle the cheese on after air frying. Seasonings: Add salt and pepper to taste, and use some red pepper flakes if you want a little bit of heat.
What else can I add to this broccoli in the air fryer?
This is such a simple and straightforward recipe, so you can make this broccoli with any flavor combination you like.
Make this ranch broccoli by simply adding ranch seasoning. Add bacon crumbles. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and/or toasted breadcrumbs. Toss the cooked broccoli in your favorite dressing, such as Ranch or Caesar. Toss the broccoli with sesame oil and soy sauce, cook, and top with toasted sesame seeds. Omit the Parmesan and toss with curry or za’atar seasoning.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover air fryer broccoli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a 350-400°F air fryer for 4-5 minutes.
How to Freeze Air Fryer Broccoli
Freeze broccoli florets in a single layer on a lined baking sheet until solid, about 1-2 hours. Transfer to an airtight container or resealable bag to store for up to 3 months. Let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating fir best results. If reheating straight from frozen, increase the time in the Air Fryer (as instructed above), and expect a more steamed texture.
