Notes
Tips for Making Air Fryer Frozen Broccoli
- Do not defrost the broccoli.
- Use this same method to cook other frozen vegetables in the air fryer.
- Keep the broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It's okay if they overlap a little, but don't stack them on top. This will ensure that they get brown and crispy on all sides.
- Cook the broccoli to your preferred doneness. It may need more time if you like it crispy and brown. You may only need 10-15 minutes of cook time if not.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer for 5 minutes at 380° F.
