Instructions
Wash and Cut the Broccoli
- Wash the broccoli well under cold water. Dry it fully with a towel. Cut into medium florets. Try to keep pieces equal size for even cooking.
Season the Broccoli
- Place broccoli in a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili flakes. Toss well until each piece is coated evenly with seasoning.
Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for three minutes. This helps the broccoli cook evenly. A hot air fryer gives better crisp texture.

Air Fry Until Crispy
- Cook at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking. Check for golden edges and crispy tips before removing.
Add Cheese and Lemon
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese over hot broccoli. Drizzle fresh lemon juice on top. Toss lightly and serve warm for best flavor and taste.
