Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz broccolini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 F for 5 minutes.
  • Wash the broccolini and remove the bottom ⅓ leaves.
  • In a medium-size bowl add the broccolini, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss ingredients together.
  • Add the broccolini to the air fryer and cook on 400 F for 5-6 minutes, flipping over halfway through cooking. Yours could take less time or longer depending on how many watts your air fryer is.
  • Add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve while warm and squeeze lemon juice or add a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Tasty garnishes include more salt and pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, or lemon wedges. We cut up tiny lemon wedges and tossed them in the air fryer for 1 minute. Or add all of these like we did, so tasty!
The cooking time will vary based on the watts of your air fryer, the size of your broccolini stems, and whether or not you preheated your air fryer.
