Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F.
  2. In a large bowl, add the frozen broccoli florets and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, then toss again for complete distribution.
  4. Arrange the broccoli in a single layer at the bottom of the air fryer basket. You may need to batch cook depending on the size of your fryer.

To ensure crispiness, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook from frozen without thawing. Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model as necessary.
