Equipment

  • 1 air fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 heads broccoli washed, cut into small florets
  • 1.5 tbsp garlic minced
  • 3-4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  • Pour 1/4 c water in the bottom portion of your air fryer, below the basket itself. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • In a bowl put your small broccoli florets with all other ingredients and toss well so they are good and coated.
  • Once air fryer is done preheating, pour florets into basket making sure they don't overlap. May have to do 2 rounds if your basket is small. Can sprinkle with a bit of salt, pepper, and/or chili flakes now if you'd like.
  • Cook at 400 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes or until they're as done/tender/crispy as you'd like them to be. Start at 8 minutes, check, and add additional minutes if they aren't as tender as you'd want.
