Ingredients You Need

Small head broccoli – One small head of broccoli is about 3 cups of florets
Olive oil – Don’t skip the oil or the broccoli can come out dry and over toasted
Ranch seasoning – You can use seasoning from a canister or a packet, which ever you have
Grated Parmesan cheese – Use high-quality Parmesan for the best flavor.
Lemon – A little lemon juice adds a bit of brightness.

Equipment Information

Air fryer: I use the 5.5-quart Ninja MaxXL basket-style air fryer. Angie uses this 5-quart Cosori Pro LE air fryer. We also both occasionally use the Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill that has an air fryer setting.
Kitchen tongs: It’s very easy to remove food from your air fryer with kitchen tongs. I use these kitchen tongs that are silicon coated so they don’t scratch the interior.

Helpful Tips

Ensure each broccoli floret is evenly coated with the olive oil and ranch seasoning mix for the best flavor and crispiness.
For an extra crispy texture, preheat your air fryer for a few minutes before adding the broccoli.
Giving the basket a good shake halfway through cooking ensures even crisping on all sides.
Feel free to tweak the amount of ranch seasoning or lemon juice to suit your taste preferences.
Cook longer for softer broccoli. If you don’t like charred ends, lower the temperature to 370 degrees and cook for 10 minutes.

How to Store

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven to bring back the crispiness before serving.
