Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 fresh lemon, juiced

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil until every crevice is lightly coated. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, ensuring even distribution.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the seasoned florets in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for proper air circulation.
  3. Air fry for 8 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and to prevent burning.
  4. Once the edges are charred and the stalks are fork-tender, remove from the air fryer. Immediately toss with grated Parmesan and fresh lemon juice while still hot.
