Notes

** Please note that it is suggested not to add water to your air fryer basket, so this is optional and you are doing so at your own risk. If you do not have an air fryer with a basket, you can also make this recipe without adding water.
  • To ensure even cooking of the air fried broccoli make sure to cut into bite sized pieces. However, not too small as the tips will burn before the rest of the broccoli is cooked.
