Air Fryer Broccoli Parmesan

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 Large Head of broccoli

1 Tbsp. Olive oil

1 tsp. Sea salt

1 tsp. Black pepper

3 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese

1 Tbsp. Lemon juice

Directions

Preheat your air fryer (or oven) to 380 °F (180 °C).

Cut the broccoli into florets, and try to keep the florets the same size. If cutting larger florets, cut down the middle creating a large flat surface that holds the seasonings well and will crisp up in the air fryer.

In a large bowl, add the broccoli florets. Spray or drizzle with a small amount of olive oil and sprinkle over the salt and pepper. Use your fingers to thoroughly coat the broccoli with oil and seasonings. This helps the oil get all over the broccoli, even all over the ends, which makes them more crispy overall.

Place the seasoned broccoli into the air fryer basket into an even, single layer. There should be small gaps between each piece of broccoli for airflow. Air fry for 7 minutes. Then flip over the broccoli florets and air fry for another 3 minutes.

Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the broccoli and then place it back into the air fryer. You can leave it to melt with the warmth in the air fryer or air fry for 1 minute to melt the parmesan quickly.

Squeeze lemon juice over the broccoli and serve.
