Air fryer roasted broccoli recipe shared here is:

  • Vegan
  • Gluten Free
  • Low Carb
  • Made in less than 10 minutes!!

This air fryer broccoli turns out perfectly crispy from edges with subtle garlicky hue. It is so simple, quick to make and perfect side dish to include in everyday meals as broccoli is packed with number of nutrients like vitamins, iron, manganese, potassium etc.

I recently made it to accompany vegan mushroom gravy, steamed rice and it made for such filling, soul satisfying dinner. In comparison to oven roasted broccoli, the air fryer takes lesser time and broccoli turns out more crispy as the hot air circulating inside it cooks the florets more evenly.

You will require few basic ingredients to make this broccoli in air fryer:

  • Oil : Coating the broccoli florets with cooking oils like olive oil, canola or sunflower oil etc helps it in becoming crispy and golden brown. Don’t skip the oil as skipping the oil will dehydrate the broccoli instead of roasting.
  • Seasoning: These crispy air fried broccoli florets are seasoned with salt, crushed black pepper and garlic powder. Personally I prefer garlic powder as it sticks better to the florets. However if you don’t have it you can use freshly minced garlic cloves.
  • Broccoli: Use fresh or frozen broccoli to make this recipe. Just make sure to cut the broccoli in bite size pieces for even consistent cooking.
Optional-
  • Parmesan: You can use some grated parmesan too in this air fryer broccoli recipe. It is completely optional, you can skip it or use vegan parmesan.
  • Lemon Juice & Fresh Herbs: Little emon juice or some finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley adds freshness to the roasted broccoli. You can add or skip it as per your taste.

Air Fryer Broccoli Ingredients

How to roast broccoli in air fryer?

Roasting broccoli in air fryer a very easy process. First cut the broccoli in medium sized pieces. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder etc and toss the florets in it. Air fry these florets in a preheated air fryer at 180ºCelsius (350°F) for 6 to 7 minutes till you get desired crispness.

You can top up the roasted broccoli with some parmesan, lemon juice or fresh herbs. Stepwise recipe with ratios & images are shared below.

What should I serve with roasted broccoli?

Though roasted broccoli makes for a perfect side dish but you can even have it as snack with some creamy dip like:

  • Garlic Mayo
  • Yogurt Mint Dip
  • Tzatziki Sauce
  • Lemon Tahini Sauce

Tips :

1. Keep the broccoli florets to medium size. As these florets shrink while air frying, too small pieces can burn quickly.

2. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket with broccoli florets for even roasting.

3. Be generous while using the oil. If the florets are not well coated with oil they will get charred instead of getting roasted.
