    How Long To Cook Frozen Broccoli In Air Fryer?

    air fryer frozen broccoli

    We used frozen baby broccoli florets here, and we cooked them for 10 minutes time in preheated air fryer at 350 degree Fahrenheit.

    If you are using regular frozen broccoli florets that are slightly larger in size than baby broccoli florets, you can roast for another 5 more minutes time until they are lightly browned on edges.

    If using fresh broccoli florets (regular sized), it is a good idea to check them after the said ten minutes of time to see if it is done to your preference.

    What Is Baby Broccoli? Is It The Same As Broccolini?

    Baby broccoli is basically small sized broccoli florets. They look and taste the same as broccoli and they are different from broccolini.

    They are basically the younger version of regular broccoli.

    The baby broccoli florets taste the same as regular broccoli, however the size is smaller than regular broccoli florets and so they are cooked much faster than regular sized broccoli florets.

    So here is how you can make easy, simple roasted baby broccoli florets in air fryer quickly.

    How To Cook Frozen Baby Broccoli Florets In Air Fryer?

    air fryer frozen broccoli

    To roast frozen broccoli (baby broccoli florets) in air fryer, we use the following ingredients.

    Ingredients

    frozen baby broccoli florets 12 oz

    salt adjust to taste

    olive oil 1 tablespoon

    garlic powder ½ teaspoon

    onion powder ½ teaspoon

    black pepper powder ½ teaspoon

    Instructions

    Place the frozen broccoli florets (I used baby broccoli which are smaller in size) in a large sized bowl.

    Arrange the broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket for even cooking (air fryer will be hot since it is preheated so make sure to be careful!).

    Press the timer button to set the cooking time to 10 minutes and let the broccoli cook for ten minutes.

    Keep in mind that we used baby broccoli florets here, which are smaller in size than regular broccoli florets.

    If you are using frozen broccoli florets that are of normal size, which are larger in size than baby broccoli florets, you will need to cook the frozen broccoli for about 15 minutes time instead of ten minutes, and see if the broccoli is done to your preference.

    Once the cooking is done, the air fryer beeps and you can turn off the air fryer.

    Carefully pull out the air fryer basket (it will be hot), transfer the broccoli to serving plates, enjoy!
