Are Air Fried Vegetables Healthy?
Absolutely! Roasted vegetables in the air fryer can be very healthy. I like to add some olive oil to mine to get them to crisp. Olive oil is loaded with monounsaturated fats, the good fats! Olive oil also has antioxidants and can be an anti-inflammatory.
How To Cook and Roast Broccoli in an Air Fryer

How Long to Cook and Roast Broccoli in an Air Fryer
I like to roast mine for 5-8 minutes. This will vary based on the air fryer brand you use and how much broccoli you cook at one time.
What Temperature Do You Cook Broccoli in an Air Fryer
I recommend 360 degrees.
Can You Put Frozen Veggies in Air Fryer? How to Cook Frozen Broccoli Vegetables in an Air Fryer
Yes, you can air fry frozen vegetables. I recommend that you add seasonings after the vegetables have cooked for a few minutes in the air fryer and have thawed. Frozen broccoli will need to cook for 7-10 minutes at the same temperature.

Easy Air Fryer Roasted Broccoli
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups fresh broccoli florets (cut)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil spray
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence seasoning optional
Instructions
- Drizzle the broccoli with the olive oil or spray with cooking oil. Sprinkle the seasonings throughout.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil. Load the broccoli. Cook for 5-8 minutes on 360 degrees.
- Once the broccoli has cooked for 5 minutes, open the air fryer and examine the broccoli. Every air fryer brand cooks differently. I prefer my roasted broccoli to have a little char, but I don’t like it burnt. Use your judgment to ensure the broccoli isn’t over cooked.

Loved this recipe! I’ve tried air fryer broccoli before, but I couldn’t get the timing or temp right—this is perfect, though!

I come back to & follow this recipe whenever I grab a steak or some other protein and need a side with it! I made lemon garlic chicken most recently so I added some lemon at the end of cooking the broccoli and it was great. Thanks!

Hi Brandi, I made this for my mom and myself tonight and served it with your Red Lobster copycat shrimp scampi and brown rice, and it came out so nice! The air fryer makes such a nice difference in how the broccoli comes out, especially since I used frozen broccoli. I think this is the only way I will make broccoli from now on :-)
