Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh broccoli florets, cut into uniform bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.25 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Wash and dry the 1 lb of broccoli florets thoroughly. Note: Water is the enemy of crisping.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the 2 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the broccoli to the bowl and toss vigorously until every floret looks glossy.
  4. Preheat the unit. Set your air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes before adding food.
  5. Spread the broccoli in an even layer. Do not overcrowd. Cook for 4 minutes until the edges start to brown.
  6. Open the basket, sprinkle with 0.25 cup parmesan and red pepper flakes, then shake.
  7. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese is golden and crispy.
  8. Remove from the heat and drizzle with 1 tbsp lemon juice immediately.
