What You Will Need
- fresh broccolini – you can find it in the produce section of most grocery stores. It is a cross between Chinese broccoli and broccoli with long, firm stalks.
- extra virgin olive oil – rub down the broccolini with oil to get it nice and crisp!
- kosher salt – a simple seasoning that is always a must.
How To Make Air Fryer Broccolini
First, you can begin by giving the large broccolini stems a quick trim.
Then drizzle the olive oil on top and sprinkle generously with kosher salt.
Other Seasonings For Air Fryer Broccolini
We kept this recipe card simple and seasoned our broccolini with salt. If you are looking to add some other flavors, you could try minced garlic, lemon juice, or some red pepper flakes for a little bit of a kick.
Toss the broccolini to make sure each piece is evenly coated.
Pro tip: we like to use our hands to really massage each broccolini stalk with olive oil. This should give it the best results!
Place your prepared broccolini in the air fryer basket after spraying it with a non-stick cooking spray.
Air fry the broccolini at 400 degrees F for about 4-6 minutes or until it has reached your desired crispness.
How To Serve Air Fried Broccolini
This easy vegetable side dish can go with just about anything! Some of our favorite main dish/entrees to serve with air fried broccolini are Meatloaf, a Whole Roasted Chicken, or make it a completely air fried dinner with some Air Fryer Salmon!
