Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my air fryer broccoli not crispy?

Overcrowding the basket prevents proper air circulation; cook in batches if necessary for the best results.

Can I use frozen broccoli for this recipe?

Yes, but increase the cooking time by 2 to 3 minutes and do not thaw it first.

How do I prevent the broccoli from burning?

Ensure the florets are well-coated in oil and start checking them at the 8-minute mark.
