Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets, ensuring they are bite-sized for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Add the broccoli florets to the mixing bowl and toss gently until evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
Place the seasoned broccoli florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, allowing space between each floret for even air circulation.
Air-fry the broccoli at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
Once the broccoli is crispy and cooked to your liking, remove it from the air fryer.
Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish and drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
