SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Use any salted seasoning blend (lemon pepper, Cajun, chipotle, Thai) in place of salt and pepper; adjust to taste.
TOP TIPS: Air frying broccoli is a roasting technique. The tops will brown in spots and the inside will be tender. Broccoli can burn quickly - brown is good, burnt is bad.
