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.

Can You Put Frozen Veggies in Air Fryer? How to Cook Frozen Broccoli Vegetables in an Air Fryer

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.

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 :-)

I don’t think I’ll ever go back to regular cooked broccoli again. This was so good. I had never cooked with Herbs de Provence before. Thanks for introducing it to me, Brandi, I’m a huge fan now!

I used frozen broccoli and it came out perfect! I remember you saying on your Instagram that I can use frozen vegetables in the air fryer so I wanted to try it. Now I don’t have to worry about fresh vegetables going bad. Thanks!

Did you monitor it? As noted in the recipe, every air fryer cooks at varying speeds. You will need to monitor yours and adjust accordingly.
