Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ½ lb frozen broccoli florets
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil extra virgin
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat air fryer to 380F for 5 minutes.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add the frozen broccoli, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Spread the prepared frozen broccoli on the air fryer basket or tray, being sure to not overcrowd it.
  • Air fryer for 8 minutes then shake the basket or stir the broccoli.
  • Continue cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is cooked through and browning in places.
  • Top with lemon juice and/or parmesan (optional).
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Preheat your air fryer for 3-5 minutes prior to cooking your frozen broccoli.
  • Do not defrost the frozen broccoli prior to cooking.
  • For best results, leave space around your frozen broccoli pieces during the cooking time.
  • Shaking or stringing the broccoli during the cooking process helps it to cook evenly.
  • Frozen broccoli is partially cooked before it is frozen, so it does cook quickly.
  • You can use these same directions to make fresh broccoli in air fryer or frozen cauliflower in air fryer.
  • Topping with lemon and/or parmesan cheese is optional, but highly recommended.
