Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. If they are large, cut them into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the broccoli again to evenly distribute the spices.
Spread the seasoned broccoli in an even layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd them for optimal crispiness.
Air fry the broccoli for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
When the broccoli is golden and crispy to your liking, remove it from the air fryer.
Sprinkle the hot broccoli with lemon zest and Parmesan cheese before serving.
Serve immediately as a delightful side dish or a healthy snack. Enjoy!
