Looking for healthy but easy and tasty side dish or snack? Then, Fresh Raw Broccoli in the Air Fryer is the way to go! It’s quick and takes very few ingredients! Add your favorite seasoning to mix it up or match the main course.
Air Fryer Broccoli is more like roasted broccoli you would get from baking in the oven. It’s crispy and sometimes will come out looking a bit brown.
If you prefer more of a softer, steamed broccoli, I recommend making it in the microwave. It’s easy to do and takes less time in the microwave.
What ingredients do you need to make Fresh Raw Broccoli in the Air Fryer?
It doesn’t take much to make broccoli in the air fryer! Here’s what you need:
- 3 Broccoli Crowns
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt and pepper (optional)
- Butter (optional)
How do you make Fresh Raw Broccoli in the Air Fryer?
Cut the broccoli crowns down to bite size pieces using scissors or a knife. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the broccoli with the oil and cover with the salt and pepper. Toss the broccoli around in the bowl to get a nice coating.
Put the broccoli in the air fryer basket evenly. Cook at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Toss the broccoli well and cook for another 8 minutes.
Let them cool a bit and serve!
Tips for Delicious Air Fryer Broccoli
- Pre-cut broccoli works just as well as fresh broccoli, so that can save you time! Just make sure it isn’t frozen as it has different cooking times.
- Feel free to add more seasoning to the broccoli or none at all. This is just a great starting point if you are new to air frying veggies. You can add your own variety of seasonings as well! Seasoned salt, cajun seasoning, ranch seasoning, etc. are all great options.
- It’s important you toss the broccoli halfway through so it cooks evenly. You can adjust the cooking time based on your preferences as far as the doneness of the broccoli.
