Air fryer roasted broccoli is a simple vegetable side dish that can be made in under 10 minutes.

Air fryer roasted broccoli is yet another reason why I love my air fryer. Do you have one yet? We have been using ours a lot lately making things like roasted potatoes, bacon and these bang bang shrimp.

I have been especially using the air fryer on busy week nights. I don’t have to worry about preheating the oven and waiting for the vegetables to roast. The air fryer heats up immediately and cook most vegetables in under 20 minutes.

Is the air fryer a healthy way to cook?

One reason I love roasting vegetables in the air fryer is that they don’t sit in the oil. The excess oil drains down and helps to reduce calories and extra fat.

The ingredients used really determines the amount of calories or how “healthy” the food is to eat.

Tips for air fryer broccoli

For a little something different, change up the spices add to the olive oil. Try Italian blend seasoning or even a Greek blend.

I prefer my broccoli fork tender so 8 minutes seems to be about perfect. If you like yours a little crispier, try 9-10 minutes.

If I am feeling really crazy, I will top the broccoli with shredded Parmesan cheese once it has been roasted.
