10-Minute Air Fryer Broccolini

Making broccolini in the air fryer is a go-to method when you need a green veggie side dish and you're short on time and don't want to turn on the oven. It takes only 10 minutes and can be flavored in a variety of ways!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 broccolini bunch (6-7 ounces) (easily double, see notes)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt (or to taste)
• Optional: freshly ground black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Trim any dried or rough ends off of the broccolini, rinse, and pat dry. If the stalks are large, cut them into smaller stalks.
2. 2Place the broccolini in a mixing bowl and drizzle with approximately 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt (and pepper if using). Toss until completely coated, making sure to rub the florets.
3. 3Spread the broccolini evenly across the crisper rack of your air fryer as much as possible. Try not to pile them too high. Air fry at 375°F for 7-9 minutes until stalks are fork tender and florets are crispy. The bake time may vary depending on the size of your broccolini stalks and your air fryer. If you like them softer, cook for another 1-2 minutes after checking.
4. 4Garnish with additional flakey salt, pepper, or other suggestions from the post as desired. Serve immediately.
5. 5Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 325°F, or in the microwave if needed.
