Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the broccoli florets in a medium bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the florets and toss until they are lightly coated.
- Add the salt and pepper, and toss again.
- Place the seasoned broccoli in the air fryer basket in a single layer if possible. Do not overcrowd the basket.
- Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 6 minutes.
- Remove the basket and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the broccoli.
- Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, shake the basket halfway through the initial cooking time.
- If your florets are very large, cut them smaller so they cook evenly in the short time frame.
