1Tablespoonolive oil
2Tablespoonsgrated parmesan cheese
¼teaspoongarlic powder
salt

Instructions
Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Add your broccoli florets to a large bowl. If any need to be cut smaller, cut them before adding to the bowl (If using a head of broccoli, cut it into small florets).
Add the olive oil and then toss to coat all the broccoli in the olive oil.
Season with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Add grated parmesan and garlic powder to the broccoli. Mix together to combine.
Add to air fryer basket. Cook for 6-8 minutes at 390 degrees F, checking at the 6 minute mark. If broccoli needs to be cooked longer, cook until it is the desired level of doneness. Broccoli may take up to 10 minutes depending on the size of florets and your air fryer.
Plate and enjoy
Notes
All air fryers cook differently. My air fryer usually roasts the broccoli perfectly in about 6-7 minutes, but some air fryers make take up to 10 minutes.
Cook time may also depend on the size of your broccoli florets. I cut mine into smaller florets so that they all cook a little more quickly.
