EQUIPMENT NEEDED
- Air fryer
Ingredients
- 1 large bunch broccolini
- drizzle of avocado oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Cut the bottom inch of the broccolini stems off, then add them to a large bowl.
- Drizzle a little avocado oil or olive oil over the broccolini and add the seasonings. Using your hands or tongs, toss everything together.
- Add the seasoned broccolini to the basket of your air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for 5 minutes, shaking the basket about halfway through cooking.
Notes
Storing and reheating
Storing: Let it cool completely before storing. Store in an airtight container in the fridge, and it’ll keep about 3–4 days.
Reheating: Toss it back in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes, and it perks right back up. A skillet with a splash of oil works too. I’d skip the microwave unless you’re okay with soft, sad stalks.
Tips
-
- Check it early. It cooks fast! The first time I tested it, I let it go 7 minutes and it came out like charred twigs. Five minutes was the sweet spot in my air fryer. Peek at the 3 minute mark just to be safe.
-
- Flip or shake halfway. Helps everything cook evenly so you don’t end up with half burned florets and half raw stems.
-
- Trim the ends. The bottoms can be stringy. Snip off about half an inch to an inch, and you’ll get tender bites all the way through.
