Air Fried Broccoli
Vegetables, the bane in the toddler world and sometimes, the nightmare that haunts every dinner in a household. As the personal chef for this house hold, I am also looking for things that are healthy, provide texture for the toddler and something everyone will eat with a minimal grimace.
Roasted vegetables is always a big hit in this house and what faster way to roast than the air fryer. This is probably the simplest way to prepare a nice vegetable side for yourself or the ungrateful children in your life.
Ingredients:
A small to medium head of broccoli
EVOO
Truffle oil or infused oil
NaCl
Fresh ground pepper
Garlic Powder
Instructions:
Cut the broccoli into florets and split any large florets place in a bowl to be tossed
Add: (Toss after each item to evenly coat the florets)
EVOO
Truffle Oil (use this sparingly)
NaCl
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Place in the air fryer basket set for 15min on high (400deg F)
At the each 5min interval shake to even cook
Voila, you have a delicious side
Oiled and Tossed!
In a nice big bowl, oil, season and toss then you are ready to air fry.
Do not forget to SHAKE!
At 5 min intervals shake the air fryer basket so that the broccoli cooks evenly.
Then serve with a side of Adobo! :)
I cannot stress enough how easy it is to make this side dish, which can be a meal all to itself with a variety of dipping sauces. You can even grate the cheese of your choice on top to increase the fat content and make it more appealing for those toddlers that insist on eating something other than what is on the table that night.
If you do not have an air fryer, toss and season and place on an oiled, rimmed sheet. Place in an oven 425-450deg. F, for 30min - 45min.
Like all recipes I have posted, this is just a guideline. Explore and expand your creativity through experimentation!
