Notes
- Make sure that each piece of broccoli is coated in the olive oil. This helps to prevent them from burning.
- Don't skip adding a little water to the bottom of the air fryer basket. This helps to prevent smoking and also helps to prevent any bitter taste.
- Cut the florets in similar size pieces and spread them in a single layer. This ensures that they cook evenly.
- The cooking time may vary depending on your taste preference and your air fryer. If you like crispier broccoli, add another 1-2 minutes of cook time.
- Try adding a little fresh parmesan cheese or lemon juice to the broccoli after it cooks for extra flavor.
