These broccoli bites are jam-packed with garlic bits and parmesan for the perfect side dish and they’re naturally low carb!
Why We Love This Air Fryer Side
Fresh broccoli is easy to find all year long (although frozen can be used). Everyone in my family loves this veggie! The garlic bits and the parm get a little bit crisp adding heaps of flavor. Cooked in the air fryer, this side takes just minutes! While this is a side dish, it’s yummy enough to enjoy as a quick snack.
Ingredients
It’s hard to go wrong with any recipe that only has 4 ingredients! VEGETABLES Broccoli has a great flavor when roasted or air fried. Use fresh broccoli but feel free to add in some cauliflower or use broccolini instead! SEASONING Fresh garlic is really the key to this recipe. It has a lot of natural sugars (which is why roasted garlic is so good) and it caramelizes beautifully! Salt, pepper and parmesan are really all you need!
Any water or moisture will cause the broccoli to steam (instead of roast) so be sure the broccoli is really dry before you begin. I wash my broccoli the day before (or buy pre-washed broccoli) when I can.
How to Make Air Fryer Broccoli
Recipe Tips
Ensure broccoli is completely dry after you wash it. Use fresh minced garlic for best results. Press any little bits of cheese and garlic into the florets before adding to the air fryer. Cook broccoli in a single layer for best results. If needed, cook in batches and once it is all cooked, place it all in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes to heat through. For frozen broccoli add 3 to 5 minutes to the cooking time.
