¼
teaspoon

Instructions
Wash and chop broccoli into 1-inch florets. Try to make all the florets about the same size so that they cook evenly.
Add broccoli to a bowl and toss with oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper, if using.
Preheat air fryer if required. Add broccoli to the air fryer and cook on 360°F for 6-8 minutes, tossing once halfway through.
Serve broccoli immediately with a slice of lemon, if using.
Notes
For a shortcut, you can use a 12 oz bag of pre-cut and pre-washed broccoli from the store.
If you want your broccoli a bit more tender, add 1 Tablespoon of water to the base of your air fryer before adding the broccoli.
