The recipe in 15 seconds

Method

  1. Make sure the florets are completely dry, then toss with the oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and pepper flakes.

  2. Air fry at 375°F in a single layer without crowding, 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway. They are done when the floret tips are browned and crispy and the stems are just tender.

  3. Tip into a bowl, squeeze over a lemon wedge, then toss with the lemon zest and parmesan. Serve with the remaining wedges.

Tips

  • Air fryers vary: oven-style models and smaller baskets may need 2 to 3 minutes more. Check early the first time.
  • Wet broccoli steams, so dry it well after washing. Frozen florets work: cook from frozen at 400°F for 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Skip the parmesan for a vegan side, or swap it for toasted sliced almonds. Reheat at 375°F for 2 to 3 minutes.
