Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets with a light spray of olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Add lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast to the bowl and toss to coat the broccoli evenly with the seasonings.
Place the seasoned broccoli florets into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer to allow for proper air circulation.
Air fry the broccoli for 12-15 minutes or until they are crisp and golden brown. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
Once done, remove the broccoli from the air fryer and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the crispy broccoli as a healthy appetizer or side dish while it is warm for the best flavor and texture.
