Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the dried broccoli florets into the bowl and toss them well until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
Place the seasoned broccoli florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd to ensure even cooking.
Air fry the broccoli at 375°F (190°C) for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
Check the broccoli for doneness. It should be crispy and slightly brown on the edges. If needed, add additional 2 minutes of cooking time.
Carefully remove the broccoli from the air fryer and serve immediately as a healthy side dish or a crunchy snack.
