This Crispy Air Fryer Broccoli is the ultimate healthy side dish—ready in under 15 minutes, perfectly golden, and delightfully crunchy.

Ingredients
4 cups broccoli florets
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Place broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
4. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
5. Serve hot with optional parmesan or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Notes
For crispier broccoli, don’t overcrowd the basket—cook in batches if needed.
Add parmesan in the last 2 minutes of air frying if you want it melty.
A squeeze of lemon brightens up the flavor just before serving.
