Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

Instructions

  • 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!

Notes

  • 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!
