Air Fryer Broccoli

Ingredients

4 cups fresh broccoli florets (from 2 small or 1 large head of broccoli) cut into bite sized pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons water

Optional Garnish:
Fresh lemon wedges
Shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

To a large bowl, add the fresh broccoli florets, olive oil, garlic salt and black pepper. Toss to evenly coat the broccoli florets in the oil and seasonings.

Preheat the air fryer at 375*F for 3 minutes, add the water to the bottom of the preheated air fryer. This helps to steam the broccoli and makes it more tender when cooked.

Add the seasoned broccoli florets to the basket of the air fryer in a single layer. Cook for 5 minutes, toss the broccoli so that it is evenly cooked, then continue to air fry for another 3-5 minutes or until cooked through and lightly browned and crisp on the edges. The total amount of time needed will vary depending on the size of your florets.

Transfer the air fried broccoli to a serving bowl and garnish with an optional sprinkle of shredded Parmesan cheese and fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the broccoli if desired.
