Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Parmesan cheese, grated (optional, ensure it's halal-friendly)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Seasoning
  1. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli with olive oil until each floret is coated. Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the broccoli and mix well.
Air Frying
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the broccoli in the fryer basket in a single layer.
Cooking
  1. Air fry the broccoli for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Finishing Touch
  1. If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Serving
  1. Remove the broccoli, let it cool slightly, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

For best results, use fresh broccoli florets. For conventional oven use, preheat to 425°F (220°C) and roast for 20-25 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
