How Long to Air Fry Broccoli Florets

Air fry broccoli florets at 400°F (200°C) for 10-14 minutes. Exact settings, when to shake, and how to tell when it is done.

400°F for 10 to 14 minutes, shake at 6.

  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Arrange the broccoli florets in a single layer with space between pieces. Crowding traps steam and stops browning.

  3. 3

    Air fry for 10 to 14 minutes, shaking or flipping at the 6-minute mark.

  4. 4

    Start checking at 10 minutes. Every air fryer runs a little differently.

Use these settings as a starting point; thickness, quantity, and appliance model affect timing. How to use our cooking guides.

Worth knowing. Oil lightly. Spread in one layer.
