Everybody loves air fryer recipes, like my for how easy and quick they are to make! Air frying vegetables, like Air Fryer Cauliflower, Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges, or Air Fryer Sweet Potato Cubes is much healthier and faster than roasting broccoli. I love my oven, but roasted broccoli takes twice the time and uses so much more oi and parchment paper to achieve the same result that I do prefer the air-fried broccoli version. No more tons of oil added to make crispy vegetables and under 10 minutes to cook a batch that serves the whole family of four. So let me show you how to make these quick broccolis in the air fryer.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Onion Powder – or fresh crushed onion. Garlic Powder – or fresh crushed garlic.

Storage

You can store air-fried broccoli in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Or, you can freeze them in bags and thaw them in the fridge the day before eating.
