Cut up the broccoli florets into uniform medium-sized pieces and place in a bowl.
Toss the broccoli with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper until well coated.
Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 370 degrees for 8 minutes or until crisp tender and slightly charred, pausing to toss the broccoli halfway through the cooking time. All air fryers vary, so begin checking for doneness after 6 minutes as the broccoli can burn quickly.
Place the broccoli in a bowl and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Pro tip: Whether you use broccoli crowns or pre-cut broccoli, be sure to cut the florets into uniform medium-sized pieces for even cooking. Prep the florets up to 1-2 days in advance to make this recipe go even faster.
For best results, cook at a lower temperature as the broccoli can burn quickly at a higher temp.
Customize air fryer broccoli with your favorite spices, seasoning blends or parmesan cheese.
Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
