Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chopped broccoli florets
  • avocado oil spray
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder, or chopped garlic
  • 1/2 tbsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp sea salt, to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper, to taste
  • 4 tbsp nutritional yeast

Instructions
 

  • Chop the large broccoli florets and add to a big salad bowl
  • Spritz avocado oil spray, covering florets well (about 10-15 seconds, mixing around)
  • Add salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder and paprika.
  • Add a hefty amount of nutritional yeast for that cheesiness flavor!
  • Mix well - you may need to add another spritz of avocado oil spray if the mixture is looking dry.
  • Evenly disperse into air fryer.
  • Cook on match cook at 400°F for 25 minutes. At the 10 min mark, pause and mix around the florets in each container.
  • Remove from air fryer and enjoy! Mmm!

Notes

Don't have an air fryer? Place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 400F for 25 minutes. About halfway through, use a spatula to move the broccoli around to make sure all florets become evenly crispy! You can also broil on high for the last 2-3 minutes for that extra crunch! Yummy!
