The magic of parmesan cheese
Adding parmesan cheese after the air-frying process brings this dish to life. Parmesan cheese has a nutty flavor and a slightly salty flavor that enhances the natural flavor of broccoli and adds a layer of richness and depth. Sprinkled over hot freshly fried broccoli, it gently melts the broccoli, giving it a unique flavor without overpowering the flavor of the broccoli itself. This touch of Parmesan cheese adds a delightful flavor that beautifully complements the soft, crisp florets. It’s this final sprinkle of cheese that elevates this simple side dish into a tempting dish.
offer suggestions
This dish pairs well with a variety of main courses, from grilled chicken to baked salmon. You can also enjoy it as a light lunch dish. Broccoli’s tangy, cheesy flavor complements a wide range of proteins and starches, making it a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire.
chef tips
Mix the broccoli well with the oil and seasonings, making sure all the florets are well coated. Also, don’t stuff it in the air fryer basket. The broccoli should be layered so that it cooks evenly. Finally, adjust the cooking time according to your airfryer model and your broccoli crunchiness preference. Happy cooking!
Storage and reheating instructions
Leftover broccoli from the air fryer can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it back in the air fryer for a few minutes or until thoroughly heated. Avoid using the microwave to keep the broccoli crisp.
