Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Make ahead: Refrigerate seasoned broccoli in an airtight container for up to 24 hours and then cook as per recipe.
- Reheat: Reheat in air fryer at 300 degrees F for 3-4 minutes.
- Chop the broccoli evenly: It’s best to have similar bite-sized florets for the most even cooking results.
- Use powdered seasonings: As much as I love fresh garlic and herbs, they can burn easily in an air fryer (unless only added towards the end).
- Cook in batches: If you overcrowd the air fryer basket, the broccoli will steam rather than roast.
