Crispy Parmesan Broccoli
Crispy Parmesan Broccoli is made with head broccoli, olive oil, grated Parmesan, garlic powder; air fry at 400°F for 12 minutes to serve 4. 110 calories per serving.
Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway, until edges are charred and crispy.
- 3
Toss hot broccoli with Parmesan, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
- 4
Squeeze fresh lemon over the top and serve immediately.
Tip: Don't overcrowd — the charred crispy bits on the edges are the best part and they only happen with good air circulation. A few burnt tips add smoky flavor.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 12 minutes vs ~19 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🫒Uses up to 80% less oil than deep frying, bringing this down to 110 calories per serving.
