This air fryer broccoli recipe is the easiest side dish to throw together! The broccoli comes out perfectly crispy and flavorful, tossed with fresh garlic, lemon juice, and parmesan cheese.
Season the broccoli. In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; toss to combine.
Cook. Transfer the broccoli to the air fryer basket and arrange it in a single layer. Do not crowd the basket; if it’s not large enough to fit all the broccoli at once, cook it in batches. Cook for 4 minutes; shake the basket and continue to cook for 4 to 5 more minutes, or until fork tender.
Finish and serve. Pull out the air-fried broccoli and transfer them to a serving plate. Add lemon juice and gently toss to combine. Top with parmesan cheese, and serve warm.
