Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the 1 lb fresh broccoli florets into uniform, bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper until every floret is evenly coated.
  4. Place the broccoli in the air fryer basket in a single layer; cook in batches if they don't fit in one layer.
  5. Cook at 390°F (200°C) for 7 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the edges are deep golden brown and fragrant.
  6. Immediately remove the basket and sprinkle 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the hot vegetables, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese into the crevices.
