Ingredients you Need to Make Air Fryer Broccoli
You just need 2-ingredients and some seasoning to make these roasted Air Fryer Broccoli.

- Olive Oil: Just one tablespoon of Olive Oil to lightly grease Broccoli Florets. Please do not use cooking spray instead of Olive Oil. You can pour your Olive oil into a spray bottle and then use it for this recipe.
- Seasoning: For seasoning, we'll need Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper. That's it.
Optional Ingredients you can add:
- Onion Powder: Though there is no need but if you want you can add some Onion powder while making Air Fryer Broccoli. Onion Powder will add a sweetish touch to your broccoli.

Crispy Air Fryer Broccoli Tips
These important tips will help you make your broccoli with so much ease.
- Do not Use Cooking Spray: Cooking Spray has harmful chemicals that might destroy the non-stick coating in your Air Fryer basket.
- Use Avocado Oil or Olive Oil: Avocado oil has a high smoke point, and it is so healthy. As an alternative to Olive Oil, you can use Avocado Oil as well.
- Do not overcook: If you overcook your Broccoli in an Air-Fryer, it will turn too brown and will not taste good. I would suggest cooking it at 400F FOR 5-Minutes. You can also shake midway at, say 3-minute mark for a crispier coating.
