Instructions

Notes
- Adjust the cooking time based on the size and thickness of the broccoli florets. Thicker florets may require additional cooking time.
- Feel free to customize the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Add other spices like garlic powder or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- Be mindful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket, as it may lead to uneven cooking. Cook in batches if needed.
