Air Fryer Broccoli
How to make air fryer broccoli
Today we want to cook air fryer broccoli , as we all know that the time required to cook air fryer broccoli is only about 11 minutes to get a crunchy and tasty broccoli.
And as you know, cooking air fryer broccoli
We all know that an air
fryer does By cooking food and vegetables so fast and so big that
when you taste them they become very crispy and delicious from the outside
But it's not fluffy and
not crunchy enough on the inside, so today I suggest you the secret to making
the perfect air fryer broccoli .
The first thing
we start with is chopping the broccoli
Cut into small pieces
and this is very important even when we use a bag of broccoli florets
previously cut from the shop ,
If we have a few cauliflower florets, cut them into four small pieces to help promote even cooking.
Today I will be using
about 13 ounces of broccoli.
Note that we can cook
up to 1 pound of broccoli in our 6-liter air fryer at one time.
Previously, out of
curiosity, I had tried to cook about two pounds of broccoli in a 6-liter air
fryer and it took twice as long and it wasn't crunchy.
That's why as my
experience I advise you not to overcrowd the air fryer broccoli if you want
good and tasty results.
Now that the broccoli
has been cut into small pieces.
Heat the air fryer to
360 degrees, then put the broccoli pieces in a large bowl, and then sprinkle 1
tablespoon of olive oil or 2 tablespoons on it. You can add one tablespoon of
fresh lemon juice, which adds a delicious flavor and also adds a little
moisture to prevent the broccoli from drying out during cooking.
Then put ¼ teaspoon of
garlic powder in it or you can use a minced garlic clove instead
And a quarter of a
teaspoon of salt. Toss that together so the broccoli feels evenly coated.
I love using my hands
to do this
Because I think it's easier to do it to distribute the seasoning in this way ,
Once the air fryer is
preheated
Add the broccoli and
arrange it in one layer, it's okay if it overlaps a little But you will
get the best results if you do this.
Don't crowd your air
fryer
12 ounces of broccoli in a 6-lb air fryer basket , Cook broccoli at 360 degrees for 10 minutes
And when it rings, the
time comes
Check and test the
broccoli
He might be ready at
this point
Or you may want to
increase the cooking for 2 or 3 minutes, until cooked through.
Fortunately, it is easy to add more cooking time If you need it
Once the air fryer
broccoli is cooked, it's ready to eat with a good appetite
And if you want to add
more flavor you can also add a little
Parmesan cheese and
black pepper.
And if you are wondering how freezing broccoli works
in your air fryer I tested it for you too
I actually like it just
like the new version of air fryer broccoli If
not more
First you will need to
thaw frozen broccoli
By cooking it for 5
minutes at 360 degrees
At this point, the
broccoli will no longer feel cold
Now you can put it with your favorite spices
I use olive oil spray
, And some salt and pepper
Just to keep it simple
,Return the thawed broccoli to the air fryer And cook air fryer
broccoli
for another 5
minutes at 360 degrees
This is usually all a
frozen broccoli needs to be done
But you can always add
another minute or two
If you need
it The edges should be nice and crunchy
And I think frozen broccoli turns out even more tender than the new version
So this is one of my
favorite methods ,Cook frozen vegetables now .
I hope you have
benefited from this recipe and this method of cooking air fryer broccoli.
