Equipment

Ingredients

16 ounce bag of frozen broccoli florets
olive oil spray
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
fresh lemon zest optional

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Add the frozen broccoli florets to a large bowl (no need to thaw). Then, spray them with olive oil spray and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix to evenly coat the broccoli in the seasonings.
Place a parchment paper liner in your air fryer basket for easy cleanup. Then, add the seasoned frozen broccoli to the basket.
Air fry at 400°F for 10-13 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until tender and the edges are slightly crispy.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over top of the broccoli, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Optional: Add a light squeeze of lemon juice or lemon zest if you want extra brightness. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Fresh Broccoli Option: If you don’t have frozen broccoli, you can use fresh broccoli! Cut one large or two medium heads of broccoli into florets. Cook them at 400°F for 8-12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Single Layer: Cook the broccoli in a single layer in your air fryer basket. If your air fryer is small, cook the broccoli in batches if needed for the best results.
