Air Fryer Broccoli

Air fryer broccoli comes out crispy and roasted to perfection. It’s tossed in lemon and garlic before being air fried, giving it the perfect flavor.

This air fried broccoli comes out perfectly crispy around the edges – just like oven roasted broccoli, but it cooks in less time! We dress this broccoli recipe in a dressing of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and garlic powder. It’s such a simple recipe yet the lemon adds a wonderful pop of flavor!

Some of our other favorite air fryer recipes are Air Fryer Cauliflower, Maple Bacon Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts, Air Fryer Whole Chicken, and Air Fryer Apple Chips with Peanut Butter Dip.

What Air fryer to use for making air fried broccoli?

I have made air fryer broccoli in both my air fryer oven and basket-style air fryer. Both will work for this recipe! Keep in mind, that air fryer temperatures and cooking speed can very, so it’s important to check your broccoli a few minutes early the first time you make it – so it doesn’t burn.
