Air fryer roasted broccoli

Charred, nutty florets in ten minutes, a world away from anything steamed.

Broccoli is mostly water, so it needs dry heat and space. Crowd the basket and it steams itself grey. Give it room and the tips char and turn nutty.

Ingredients

Serves 4 · tap to check off

• 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
• 1.5 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, sliced
• Salt, chilli flakes and lemon to finish

Method

1. Cut. Break into even florets so they finish at the same time.
2. Coat. Toss with the oil and salt, making sure the tips are covered.
3. Air fry. Cook at 390°F for 10 minutes, adding the garlic for the last 3 so it does not burn.
4. Finish. Squeeze over lemon and scatter chilli flakes.
