Ingredients
Ingredients
- 400 g / 4 cups frozen broccoli
Cupboard Essentials
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your airfryer for 5 minutes at 400°C/ 200°C.
- Pour the frozen broccoli, olive oil and seasoning into the airfryer. Season with salt and pepper and stir with tongs to coat. Then evenly distribute across the basket so that they’re spaced out. Remove some of the tiny florets to add back in half way through.
- Cook at 400°C/ 200°C for 5-8 minutes, adding the tiny florets half way through- this prevents burning. Serve hot when the broccoli is tender with crispy edges.
- Add a sprinkle of flakey salt and red pepper flakes to serve, then dive in!
Notes
- Shake the Basket: Halfway through cooking, shake the basket to ensure the broccoli cooks evenly and browns on all sides.
- Check the Broccoli: After shaking the basket (around 6 minutes in), check the broccoli again 3 minutes later to get the desired level of crispiness.
- Don’t Preheat: Skip preheating the air fryer to prevent the broccoli from cooking too fast on the outside while staying cold inside. This also saves time.
