Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing 2 cups of fresh broccoli florets under cool water. In a large bowl, add the broccoli and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Massage the broccoli for about 1 minute to ensure it's evenly coated.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the broccoli florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. After 5 minutes, gently shake the basket and raise the temperature to 375°F (190°C). Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Check the broccoli for desired crispness. If you prefer it crispier, increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C) and cook for an extra minute or two.
