Cut the broccoli into florets: Wash the broccoli under running water, then pat dry. Place the broccoli on a cutting board, the large stem facing up. With a paring knife, slice the large florets away from the large stem, one by one. Half or quarter the florets to have even pieces.

Season the broccoli: Add 24 oz broccoli, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tbsp lemon juice to a large mixing bowl. Toss well to coat evenly.

2

Air fry the broccoli: Place the seasoned broccoli in the air fryer’s basket and cook at 375°F for 12 minutes. Shake halfway through.

3

Garnish and serve: Transfer the broccoli to a serving bowl, then sprinkle with 0.5 oz shredded parmesan cheese and 2 tbsp chopped parsley. Enjoy!
