Hello, food lovers! I recently stumbled upon a fantastic way to steam broccoli using my air fryer, and I can’t get enough of it. For anyone who enjoys meal prepping with nutritious options, this method is a must-try. The broccoli comes out perfectly tender yet still has a nice crispness, making it an excellent addition to any dish.
To begin, wash your broccoli and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for a few minutes. Lightly toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat it evenly. Place the broccoli in the air fryer basket in a single layer and steam for about 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. You’ll be rewarded with vibrant, nutrient-rich broccoli!
I love experimenting with flavors, too—adding garlic powder or a splash of lemon juice elevates the taste even more! If you meal prep, this is a game changer. You can make a big batch and enjoy it throughout the week in salads, stir-fries, or as a side.
