Ingredients
– 2 broccoli crowns broken into large florets
– 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil for coating and flavor
– 1 tablespoon tamari for savory, umami taste
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder for subtle garlicky note
– red pepper flakes optional toppings
– toasted sesame seeds optional toppings
Instructions
1-First Step: Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F. This ensures even cooking right from the start and helps achieve that crispy exterior.
2-Second Step: In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of tamari, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Use your hands to coat them thoroughly for the best flavor distribution.
3-Third Step: Arrange the coated broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space between the pieces. If you have a lot, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
4-Fourth Step: Air fry the broccoli for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through. This promotes even browning and keeps everything tender inside and crispy outside.
5-Final Step: Once done, sprinkle on optional red pepper flakes and toasted sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy it hot as a side dish that pairs great with your main meal it’s ready in about 15 minutes total!
