Air Fryer Roasted Broccoli

Air fryer broccoli is a new favorite air-fried vegetable of mine. I love my oven, but I love how easy it is to make vegetables in the air fryer. Roasted vegetables are one of the ways I balance a healthy diet.

Now broccoli is one of those Zero Point Foods on Weight Watchers and an easy veggie side dish. Broccoli is also keto, whole 30, and paleo if you are not on WW. And let’s face it: a side dish like air fryer broccoli means no prep work, and you can cook it frozen, which means no trimming of fresh broccoli florets.

A Note From Jenny

When starting any healthy lifestyle, consult a doctor to address any personal health concerns. Some things can only be addressed medically and by a professional. Blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before starting and at least once a year, as these all can affect an active lifestyle.

With so many different programs, such as Weight Watchers, Keto, and macros, it can be hard to know what to pick. (If you’re interested in Weight Watchers, you can sign up -> here and sign up for $10/month for 10 months.)

I personally use the app Myfitnesspal to track my food.  I use macros and focus on High Protein (calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates) and rotate through cuts and maintenance calories. (Use a calculator like this -> here)  . I did WW for years, but now that I am more maintenance, with cuts throughout the year, and focusing on mobility with strength training. There is no right or wrong answer, as all bodies are different.

Air Fryer Broccoli Ingredients

Frozen Broccoli Florets– Cooking frozen broccoli in the air fryer is fast and easy. You can also use fresh broccoli. The cooking times will be different.

Seasoning– You can use a variety of seasonings. I used Johnny’s Seasoning Salt and Garlic Salt on mine.

how to cook frozen broccoli in air fryer

Start by spraying your air fryer basket or rack with a nonstick spray. I made this in the  Typhur Dome Air Fryer!

Next, spread the amount of frozen broccoli you want to cook into the air fryer basket or on the racks.

Sprinkle the broccoli with the seasoning of your choice. I used Johnny’s and a bit of Garlic salt on mine.

Place the basket or racks back in the air fryer and turn to 425 degrees for 12 minutes.

Remove the basket or the rack and shake the broccoli around. You can use tongs for this if you want.

Cook at 425 for about another five minutes.

Cook longer if needed, or remove and serve.

How to store Leftover Air Fried Broccoli

I try to make the right amount, but I have also done this for meal prepping. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to three days after making.
