There’s no need to thaw out your frozen broccoli before putting it in the air fryer. Instead, you can use this easy Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Frozen Broccoli recipe to have an easy side dish in about 10 minutes. This quick recipe comes together with four ingredients and can be enjoyed with air fryer frozen wings, air fryer bbq chicken breasts, or air fryer cajun shrimp to make a meal.

Why I Make This

  • Minimize food waste: one of the downsides of making air fryer broccoli with fresh vegetables is that if you forget about the broccoli or have a change of plans, you have to worry about eating it before it goes to waste. By using frozen broccoli, you always have vegetables at the peak of freshness
  • Quick & easy: this recipe comes together with about four ingredients and is ready in less than 10 minutes.

Ingredients Needed

  • Frozen Broccoli Florets: I purchased these frozen from the market. You do not need to thaw them out before cooking.
  • Sea Salt: I’m using fine sea salt. You can use this, if you wish, to taste
  • 24 Herb Sprinkle Seasoning: This has a great blend of spices and is one of my favorites to pick up from the store
  • Avocado Oil is one of the best oils for air frying. I’m using it, but you can also use olive oil.
  • Lemon: this completely optional as it adds a fresh, bright flavor at the end.

How to Cook Frozen Broccoli in an Air Fryer in 4 Steps

  1. Add the frozen broccoli florets, oil, and seasoning to a large bowl. Use tongs or a spoon to evenly coat the frozen broccoli with the seasoning and oil.
  2. Add the seasoned broccoli to the air fryer cooking basket. 
  3. Air Crisp them at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Toss.
  4. Air Crisp the broccoli for 3-4 more minutes to cook it through.

Top Cooking Tips & FAQs

  • Do not thaw: this recipe was tested with frozen broccoli. It should not be thawed before cooking. If you have fresh broccoli, then use my general air fryer broccoli recipe.
  • Do not overcook: frozen broccoli does not crisp up in the air fryer like fresh broccoli. So, be sure to cook it for the suggested time. Adding time will only make the broccoli mushy.
Can I put frozen broccoli in the air fryer?

Yes! You can add frozen broccoli directly to your air fryer and cook it. It turns out more similar to steamed broccoli compared to fresh broccoli, which turns out more roasted.

What temp do you air fry frozen broccoli?

I use 400 degrees for most things in my air fryer, including broccoli.

Can you put frozen veggies in an air fryer?

Yes! Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before cooking them in the air fryer. Some of my favorite frozen vegetables to put in the air fryer are Brussel sprouts and green beans.

Should I thaw frozen vegetables before air frying?

No. The packaging on most frozen vegetables instructs you to not thaw out the product before cooking.

Does air frying broccoli lose nutrients?

No.
