Start by preheating your air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
While the air fryer is preheating, wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under running water and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry for a crispy result.
In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss the ingredients together until the broccoli is evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Once preheated, place the seasoned broccoli florets in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are spread out in an even layer and not too crowded for optimal crispiness.
Air fry the broccoli at 190°C (375°F) for 10-15 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, pause the air fryer and shake the basket gently to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Check the broccoli for doneness after 12 minutes. It should be crispy and slightly browned. If needed, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Once cooked to your desired crispiness, carefully remove the broccoli from the air fryer and serve immediately as a healthy and flavorful side dish or snack.
