Ingredients
- 6 cups broccoli cut into bite sized pieces
- 2 teaspoons olive oil I prefer oil in a spray can
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic I prefer dried spices as they stick easier
- 1/4 teaspoon salt optional
- dash pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 cup parmesan freshly shaved
Instructions
- Pile broccoli in the center of the air fryer tray and spritz with oil.
- Turn the pile over and spritz the other side of the broccoli with oil.
- Sprinkle garlic, salt and pepper evenly over broccoli.
- Spread seasoned broccoli out evenly across the tray.
- Set air fryer toaster oven to air fry at 350°F. Cook small pieces for 5 minutes and medium sized pieces for 7 minutes. Frozen broccoli needs roasted for 10 minutes and the seasonings should be added mid way through roasting after the brocolli has begun to warm up.
- Shave fresh parmesan over warm broccoli and enjoy!

Notes
- Start with uniformly sized pieces of broccoli so they will cook evenly
- I like to get bags of pre-cut and pre-washed broccoli from Sam's Club
- We've used olive oil, coconut oil and avocado oil and haven't noticed a difference in taste
- Many air fryer recipes recommend cooking at 400 degrees F, but we have more success at 350 degrees F.
- Cook a bit longer than recommended times for crunchy broccoli
