Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 102kcal
Ingredients
- 180 g Tenderstem broccoli tough ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 180C / 360F for 3 minutes.
- Wash and dry the broccoli, then snip off any tough ends with scissors. If you have any particularly large pieces, you may wish to cut into two pieces for a more even cook time. Add to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle on the dried thyme, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the broccoli.
- Use tongs to place the stems in the air fryer basket, in an even layer with a little space between them. You may need to work in batches if you have a smaller air fryer.
- Air fry for 4-5 minutes at 180C / 360F, using tongs to flip after about 3 minutes (and checking the amount of browning). For more browning, you can air fry for a few more minutes to preference.
Notes
- If you have Tenderstem broccoli pieces of different sizes, cut the larger pieces into two for a more even cook time.
- Air frying time is rather dependent on the amount of 'char' that you like. For less, subtract a minute from the cook time, for more add another minute or two.
