Steps
- 01Cut the broccoli into even-sized florets, about 1.5 inches across. Size consistency matters. Tiny pieces char while big ones stay raw.
- 02Spray with oil and season.
- 03Ready for the air fryer.
Cut the florets with plenty of flat surface area. Flat sides down in the basket are where the caramelization happens. Round sides just dry out. Every cut you make, try to create at least one flat face on each floret. It's the difference between charred, crispy broccoli and dried-out broccoli trees.
