This recipe is for fresh broccoli. If using frozen broccoli add about 1 minute of cooking time,The fresh broccoli will cook down and shrink, so if the basket feels full at first, there will be about 2/3rds the amount after it shrinks. Try adding different cheeses like pepper jack, parmesan, feta or goat cheese. This dish will never be boring!
Cut the fresh broccoli into even bite sized pieces.
Add the broccoli to a large bowl. Coat the broccoli with oil. Season broccoli with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Add the raw broccoli to the air fryer basket or rack. Air Fry 380°F/193°C for 10 minutes then flip, turn or shake halfway through cooking (about 5 minutes) to ensure that the broccoli cooks evenly.
Cooking times will vary depending on the size of your broccoli and size/power of your air fryer.
If you like your broccoli more crispy, add additional 1-2 minutes of air frying time.
Add cheese on top of broccoli and cook for about 1 minute, or until cheese is melted.
After cheese has melted, transfer to a bowl or you can eat it straight out of the air fryer!
