Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
Pour half of the olive oil into the basket/inner pot of an air fryer and add florets in a single layer. Toss so the broccoli and cauliflower are well coated. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the tops.
Cook at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes. Repeat this same process with remaining ingredients. Enjoy immediately!

Seasoning options, above and beyond salt and pepper: Cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, cumin, thyme, Italian seasoning, fresh parsley, chives, basil or cilantro.
If desired, combine all ingredients in a large bowl to ensure veggies get evenly coated before adding to the air fryer tray in a single layer.
Add fresh garlic or 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder or onion powder to the mix, if desired.
For extra crispy broccoli and cauli, increase the cook time to 12 minutes.
Sprinkling Parmesan cheese (shaved or grated!), pesto sauce or cheese sauce over the top before serving will add a yummy touch to the final dish.
To add freshness, sprinkle lemon juice into the air fryer before cooking. A teaspoon or so of lemon zest will work wonders, as well!
