Creating Crispy Garlic Air Fryer Broccoli is easy when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Broccoli: Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
3. Coat the Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
5. Air Fry: Place the broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
6. Check for Doneness: The broccoli should be crispy and tender. If you prefer a little more crispness, you can cook for an extra couple of minutes.
7. Serve: Remove the broccoli from the fryer and serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
