Recipe Tips
- The broccoli can go from being perfectly cooked to overcooked very quickly. I recommend checking every few minutes once you get close to the fifteen-minute mark.
- You can use fresh broccoli instead of frozen, but the cooking time will be drastically shorter. I recommend roughly seven minutes if you are cooking fresh or thawed broccoli.
- Avoid overloading the air fryer basket as it can cause inconsistent cooking.
- The type of oil you use can drastically impact the flavor of the broccoli. I used a lighter tasting oil such as vegetable oil, but you can try strong tasting oils such as coconut oil or olive oil.
- This dish is gluten-free, keto, vegan, and paleo-friendly, so it is a perfect side dish if you are cooking for people with strict dietary requirements.
