- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (392°F) while preparing the other ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets with olive oil and toss to coat thoroughly.
Add the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until the broccoli is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking and crispness.
Air fry the broccoli at 200°C (392°F) for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once the broccoli is crispy and golden brown, remove it from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving dish.
Drizzle the air-fried broccoli with lemon juice before serving to add a refreshing zing.
