Notes
The cooking time depends on the size of your broccoli florets as well as how much you are cooking at a time. Larger florets and cooking a lot of broccoli at once can take longer than small florets and broccoli that you air fry in a single layer.Crispy and crunchy texture is my favorite, so I tend to leave my broccoli in the air fryer for about 12-14 minutes total. That way, when I air fry my broccoli, they'll have crispy edges. You can do more or less depending on your preferences and how big the broccoli florets are.In the video tutorial, I shared some images of what my broccoli looked like at 10, 15, and 20 minutes. Generally, it is a good idea to open up your air fryer and check on it every five minutes after 10 minutes of cooking.
