Ingredients

  • Fresh broccoli florets cut into smaller pieces
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • A sprinkling of ground cumin

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer for 2-3 minutes.  On mine, the setting is Air Fryer, 360 to 375 F.  If you prefer to make this in the oven, preheat the oven to 425 F.
  • Cut up your broccoli florets into smaller pieces (unless they're already tiny).  
  • Place in a bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil.  Sprinkle with sea salt and a little cumin powder.  Toss with a spoon to distribute and coat.
  • Throw the broccoli in the air fryer drawer and cook for 4 to 7 minutes.  The time will depending highly on your air fryer and the size of the broccoli.  About halfway through the cooking I usually pull out the drawer and shake it for a second, just to move everything around.  In the oven this will take 10-20 minutes, depending.
  • Keep a close eye on the broccoli once you get past the 4-minute mark...it will go from perfect to charred in mere seconds!  Once it's the softness and crispness you prefer, remove into a bowl, sprinkle with a tiny bit more salt, and eat immediately.  You can also save as leftovers, they're decent if not amazing.
