Preparation for Air Fryer Broccoli and Cauliflower
- Air fryer should be preheated to 370 degrees Fahrenheit, and the basket should be lightly greased with non-stick olive oil spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, add florets of cauliflower and broccoli, along with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Because cooking cauliflower takes longer than cooking broccoli, the florets of cauliflower should be cut smaller.
- Put the ingredients into an air fryer that has been warmed, and air fried them for 11 to 15 minutes while shaking the basket every 3 to 4 minutes.
- This is crucial to ensure that everything cooks evenly. Because each air fryer is unique, you should check the food at the 11-minute mark to see whether it is done.
- Immediately serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon on the side (if desired).
