Instructions:

Preheat the Air Fryer Oven:

  • Preheat your air fryer oven to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

Prepare the Broccoli:

Coat the Broccoli:

  • Pour the sauce mixture over the broccoli florets and toss until they are evenly coated.

Air Fry the Broccoli:

  • Place the coated broccoli florets in the air fryer basket or on the air fryer tray in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.

Cook in Batches if Necessary:

  • Depending on the size of your air fryer oven, you may need to cook the broccoli in batches to ensure even cooking.

Air Fry:
