Equipment

Air fryer
medium-sized bowl
tongs
small serving dish

Ingredients

1 bunch fresh broccolini rinsed and dried
1/2 TBS olive oil or more as needed
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 TBS shredded parmesan
1/2 TBS lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees.
Toss your broccolini in the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
Distribute the seasoned broccolini in your air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 5-7 minutes or until slightly tender. Thicker stalks will need longer.
Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.

Notes

Adjust the seasonings as you like! You don't really need to measure for a recipe like this. Just add a nice drizzle of oil, sprinkle with spices, and toss.

Store leftover air fryer broccolini in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat, microwave for 1-2 minutes or pop in the air fryer at 350 for another 3-4 minutes.

Wash and dry your broccolini completely before cooking. Use a kitchen towel or paper towels.
If your broccolini has thick stalks, it will need to cook longer. Remove the thinner stalks while you wait.
For a little heat, sprinkle some red chili flakes over the broccolini before air frying.
You can use this same method to make air fryer broccolini!
Instead of air frying, feel free to roast your broccolini in the oven, steam it in a saucepan, or grill it!
Take this recipe to the next level by adding some lemon zest at the end. So good!
