- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1-2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- red pepper flakes optional, to taste
Instructions
- Cut the broccoli into even-sized florets. It will cook more evenly this way. then transfer to a large bowl.1 head broccoli
- Add the oil and coat the florets evenly. Add the salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Toss until evenly coated.1-2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 2 cloves garlic
- Transfer to an air fryer basket and be careful not to overcrowd. Work in batches if necessary. Otherwise, you'll end up with steamed broccoli. Cook for 5 minutes at 360°F, then flip and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until desired doneness.

Notes
- If adding seasonings, toss the broccoli with the seasonings before adding it to the air fryer, not after.
- For more tender, less crisp broccoli, add 1 tablespoon of water to the bottom of the air fryer.
