Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets Make sure to cut into even-sized florets.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil This will help in achieving a crispy texture.
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes Optional for added spice.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut 1 head of broccoli into florets, keeping them as even in size as you can.
  2. In a bowl, toss the florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and (if using) 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the florets in your air fryer basket and cook until the edges are browned and crisped, and the stems are tender when pierced.
  2. Serve right away for the crispiest texture.

Notes

Cool completely before refrigerating in a covered container. The air fryer is the best way to reheat, just until hot. This recipe is best served fresh.
