Crispy Air Fryer Broccoli: The Tastiest Healthy Side Dish
Welcome back to AirFit Eats! If you think broccoli is boring, you haven't tried making it in an air fryer. This recipe transforms fresh broccoli into a crispy, charred, and flavorful side dish in just 10 minutes. It is the perfect low-carb and vitamin-packed addition to any meal.
Pairs perfectly with our Air Fryer Salmon or Chicken Breast for a complete healthy dinner.
Why You Should Air Fry Your Broccoli:
Amazing Texture: Crispy florets and tender stems.
Nutrient Dense: High in fiber, Vitamin C, and K.
Very Fast: Faster than oven roasting.
Kid-Friendly: Even people who dislike vegetables love this crunchy version.
Ingredients:
1 large head of fresh broccoli (cut into bite-sized florets)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving.
Instructions:
Prep the Broccoli: Cut the broccoli into even-sized florets. Make sure they are completely dry after washing; moisture is the enemy of crispiness!
Season: In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
Cook: Place the broccoli in the air fryer basket. Don't worry if they overlap a little, but a single layer is best for maximum crunch.
Shake: Air fry for 8-10 minutes. Make sure to shake the basket halfway through to ensure even roasting and to prevent burning.
Serve: Remove when the edges are slightly charred and crispy. Squeeze some fresh lemon over the top for an extra pop of flavor.
Pro Tips:
Fresh is Best: While frozen broccoli works, fresh broccoli gets much crispier in the air fryer.
Don't Overcrowd: If you want it extra crispy, cook in two batches.
Add Heat: If you like spice, add a pinch of red chili flakes to the seasoning mix.
