Air fryer broccoli gets crispy and caramelized. It is perfect for a quick, easy and healthy side dish. 

I am such a huge fan of air fryer broccoli. It’s actually the thing I probably make the most in my air fryer. The broccoli gets crispy and caramelized and you can basically top it with any flavorings or seasonings you like. The kids even love it!

If you need some help deciding which air fryer to get or need help with how to use it check out this post.

Before my air fryer, my go to method for cooking broccoli was in the oven. I loved perfectly roasted broccoli for a side dish. It’s a simple, healthy and delicious side dish. 

Now it’s definitely air fried broccoli. The broccoli florets get tossed in some olive oil and placed in the air fryer basket with the crisper plate. It only takes around 10 minutes to make from start to finish and you got yourself a delicious, healthy side dish.

Can I Use Frozen Broccoli?

You can use frozen broccoli. I just recommend trying to get as much moisture out as possible to get a nice crispy broccoli.

To ensure they crisp up nicely, run the frozen broccoli under some warm water. Then place in a clean kitchen towel. Press the broccoli in between another kitchen towel and press down to remove excess liquid.

Then follow the directions below.
