Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to create a flavorful coating.
Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the mixture.
Place the seasoned broccoli in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring none are overlapping for even frying. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to cook in batches.
Air fry the broccoli for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispness.
Once the broccoli is golden brown and crispy, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately for best results.
