Ingredients:

  • 1 large head of broccoli (about 1.5 lbs / 680g), cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (2.5ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.25ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (1.25ml)
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. This is crucial for crispiness!
  2. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure florets are evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer (if required - check your model's instructions). Place the broccoli florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).
  4. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and slightly charred.
  5. Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish and serve hot.
