Air Fryer Frozen Broccoli

Have you tried frozen vegetables in the air fryer? This easy air fried frozen broccoli makes a great simple side dish for dinner. Make crispy broccoli from frozen with your air fryer!

Using the air fryer has been a game changer for making dinner in my house. I fell in love with the convenience of recipes like my roasted frozen cauliflower and roasted frozen broccoli for a quick dinner side so I knew I needed to try them in the air fryer.

The air fryer is one of our most used appliances in our house and we use it pretty much every day. It is such a time saver.

If you have a bag of frozen veggies, olive oil spray, and a few simple spices, you can make an easy and delicious side dish that requires almost no time to prep!

How to air fry frozen broccoli

Step 1: Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. This will help the broccoli florets not stick to the bottom.

Step 2: Place the frozen broccoli florets into the air fryer basket.

Step 3: Spray the broccoli with olive oil spray, then sprinkle on the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Give it a good stir or shake to help mix the spices around.

Step 4: Air fry the broccoli at 400 degrees for 15-25 minutes, stirring at least once, until desired level of crispiness is achieved.

This recipe is delicious as is, or you could sprinkle on some parmesan cheese at the end.Or this cheese sauce for broccoli would be amazing poured on top! For vegans, this would be great sprinkled with a little nutritional yeast.

If you haven’t tried air frying frozen broccoli yet, it is a game changer! Perfect for busy nights when you need to get dinner on the table in a hurry or quick nutritious lunches.

Frozen vegetables are a great pantry staple to keep on hand when time is short! Our freezer is always stocked with veggies for just that reason.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 24 oz frozen broccoli florets
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ¾ teaspoon onion powder
• olive oil spray

Instructions

 

• Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray, then place the frozen broccoli florets in the basket. For best results, do not allow the broccoli to thaw at all prior to baking, place it straight from the freezer into the air fryer.
• Spray the broccoli florets with olive oil spray, then sprinkle on the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Give the basket a shake to mix the spices around.
• Air fry at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Stir and shake the basket, then air fry an additional 5minutes, or until until desired level of crispiness.
