Notes
For softer results, add one tablespoon of water to the air fryer basket before cooking, then air fry as usual.
To store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
To reheat: Place the broccoli in the air fryer at 375ºF/190ºC and heat for 2-3 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave it, but it will soften.
