Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the marinade.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
Place the marinated broccoli florets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry the broccoli at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispness.
Once the broccoli is crisp and slightly brown on the edges, remove it from the air fryer.
Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or healthy snack.
