The secret is out, garlic and parmesan cheese broccoli in an air fryer is the best vegetable to try!

Air fryer broccoli Parmesan can get a little dry and a little messy. It is no doubt that an air fryer can make almost anything crispy; however, it can also make it dry. Plus, with all the extra parmesan and garlic hanging around, it can really get your air fryer dirty. However, I will help walk you through all these solutions.

What You Need for Air Fryer Broccoli Parmesan

Make sure you grab an air fryer, I like using a rack type air fryer for this. In addition, I like to use air fryer liners as this recipe can get a bit messy with all the extra garlic and parmesan.

Now, for the actual ingredients.

  • Cooking spray
  • Broccoli
  • Minced garlic
  • Parmesan
  • Garlic salt

I typically use Kraft reduced fat parmesan cheese for the parmesan seasoning. Yes, the bottles stuff that is found in the pizza sauce aisle. Hey, I can't be perfect all the time and I do love this stuff. However, you can substitute any type of parmesan that you love.

I mean come on, who doesn't love garlic!? Lately, I have been buying whole, peeled, garlic cloves and mincing them myself with a mini food processor. Typically, I do a whole bunch of them at one time. Then, I store them in a mason jar in the fridge. However, use a pre-minced garlic or an alternative. Spice World also makes a great pre-minced garlic.

If you think the broccoli is too dry, toss with some oil instead of cooking spray.

How to Make Air Fryer Broccoli with Parmesan Cheese

First, preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees. Grease the air fryer rack with cooking spray. I like to add an air fryer liner to keep the mess down; however, you can skip it.

Cut the head of the broccoli up into bite-sized pieces and add to a large bowl.

Spray with cooking spray, tossing to coat. Then, sprinkle with the parmesan, garlic and salt, tossing to coat.

Add broccoli to the greased air fryer rack. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway. Any longer and the garlic will burn.

I like the spray the broccoli with some more cooking spray when it is done as the broccoli can get a bit dry. Alternatively, you can toss the broccoli with oil in the beginning.

However, if you do not have an air fryer, you can make this in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking tray with cooking spray. Repeat all the same steps to season the broccoli. Then, bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
