Ingredients

2 servings
  • one 12-ounce bag broccoli florets (or, one head of broccoli cut into about 3 cups of florets)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 -2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

Steps

  1. Place florets in a bowl. Add water, oil, and salt. Break into bite-sized pieces and massage gently for 30-60 seconds, until the broccoli turns a slightly brighter green. You want to get it to drink up some of that water and oil mixture a bit!

  2. Add broccoli to your air fryer. (There will still be a bit of water left over in the bowl; that’s fine.) Air fry at 350 for 5 minutes; give it a quick shake. It should look bright green, like steamed broccoli.

  3. Air fry at 375 for another 2 minutes. Now it should start to look browned, crisped, and roasty toasty. (You can adjust the time and temp to get your desired level of crispness).

  4. You’re done! Yum! It’s fluffy and tender, but crisped and browned at the same time. I love this with a dipping sauce or just sprinkled with a bit of Parmesan.
