  • ½ teaspoon salt enhances all the flavors
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper adds a subtle kick

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Rinse the head of broccoli under cold water, cut into bite-sized florets, then pat dry with a kitchen towel.
  • In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for about 5 minutes.
  • Place the seasoned broccoli florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Check for doneness; if necessary, continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove the broccoli from the air fryer and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.

Notes

Ensure broccoli florets are dry before seasoning to achieve a crispy texture.
